@pnwnewsguildmcc.bsky.social@pnwnewsguildmcc.bsky.social → @idwanewsguilds.bsky.socialReal reporters are the ones doing the work. So why is Tony spending all the money we generate on AI? #localnews #ainews #mcclatchy #tonyhunter #BellinghamNews #tacomanews #boisenews #OlympiaWA #tricitieswa #pnwnewsguild #UnionStrong #fairwagesnow #corporategreed
Show PostTony's executive team is asking us to produce 20-50% more work, but won't provide annual raises consistent with inflation. We lose money the longer we work here. While Tony serves on the United Way board, the very same organization suggests 75% of his PNW reporters earn less than a stable income.
Show PostWe know we won't soon afford homes like Tony's million-dollar mansion. But working at McClatchy shouldn't mean we'll never afford any home. We should be able to save money, to pay off our student loans, to live our lives without the fear of a single unexpected bill disrupting our ability to survive.
Show PostWe aren't asking for unreasonable pay — we just want enough to live in the markets we work in. When your subscription price goes up, that money isn't going to news staff, it's lining executive staff pockets.
Show PostWithout reporters, photographers and other newsroom staff, McClatchy CEO Tony Hunter wouldn't have millions of dollars to spend on AI. THREAD🧵
