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.

Guild, Company agree to meet June 26 to discuss lack of raises, contract.

We need your input on what your union should say.

Please attend one membership meeting:
12:30 pm or 5:30 pm

The June 26 session requested by your union will be off the record for legal reasons, though we will discuss with the Company what information can be shared in a follow-up membership meeting.
