SENATOR DUFF RELEASES STATEMENT SUPPORTING UNIONIZATION EFFORT BY HEARST CONNECTICUT STAFF
Following today’s announcement that Hearst Connecticut staff are working to form a union, Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) issued the following statement in support:
“As newsrooms shutter across the country and fewer journalists remain in the industry, the negative threats of information deserts and losing important checks on positions of power threaten to worsen our communities. I’m heartened to see these efforts by Hearst staff to unionize to benefit their own economic standing and to support the journalism Connecticut residents rely on.”
