Today, following the announcement that the staff of Hearst Connecticut are working to form a union with the NewsGuild-CWA, State Senator Julie Kushner (D-Danbury), Senate Chair of the Labor and Public Employees Committee, released the following statement in support:
“Newsrooms nationwide have cut tens of thousands of staff in the last two decades, with more than 40,000 fewer reporters today nationally than there were in 2004. This effort by Hearst staff to unionize seeks to preserve an important public service and keep vital information flowing through our towns and cities.” |
