TELL HEARST:
Times Union Employees
DESERVE A RAISE

Today we distributed windshield screens with that message. If you did not get one, email us at office@albanyguild.org.

We will be asking you to place them in your windshield in the parking lot from time to time. We also encourage you to use them when you are shopping, parked on the street or anywhere else you go.

On some days, we’ll get a group together to go park in a particular place. We cannot get a fair contract and raises without maximum participation.

It is your union. It is your raise. It won’t be handed to you.
You have to stand up for it!

A lot of people will be going to see Sir Paul McCartney of Beatles fame down at the TU Center this weekend. Being in a Beatles frame of mind, the Guild is asking for “help” from fair minded people in bringing a seven-year contract dispute to fair end for everyone. Share this with any Beatles fans you might know…

Keep an eye on this sign, as our message will change over the next 6 months as we communicate about our union and the lack of raises at the highly profitable Times Union.

What are your suggestions for future signs?

Let us know here, at office@albanyguild.org or on Facebook at Albany Newspaper Guild.

This year’s Guild picnic will be held in a brand new location, but with the same great food as last year.

We’ll be having our picnic at the Crossings of Colonie, closer to the Times Union building and with no parking fee!

Food will be served from noon to 3 p.m., with beverages until 5 p.m.

Guild members can bring their immediate families. Singles can bring a guest.

See the bulletin below for details. This is a great chance for members of our union to get together for fun, food and fellowship.

Tomorrow marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Newspaper Guild of Albany.

And we do have to say, we look pretty damn good for our age.

We invite members to come to the cafeteria from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday to celebrate with FREE CUPCAKES! And we’ll show you how you can swiftly apply for a much-deserved raise.
