Los Angeles Times reaches historic agreement with its newsroom union

The Los Angeles Times and the L.A. Times Guild, which represents about 475 journalists, have tentatively agreed on a first-ever labor accord for the newsroom in the paper's nearly 138-year history.

🗣 Important thread on the idea that journalism is “a higher calling,” a line too often used to pay journalists less than they deserve. Executives who tell us we should settle for less must not know what it’s like to worry about feeding their families or paying a hospital bill.

No one is more committed to this newsroom than the staffers who have gone six or seven or eight years without a raise, taken on longer commutes or put off buying homes, picked up second jobs to make ends meet.

"I loved the @latimes , and I loved working for you guys," says @meerabee , who is in tears. "How can you have a digital-first newsroom when you just let go of everyone who worked in digital?" Merida apologizes. She says: "Sorry doesn't work in this situation, unfortunately."

The @latimes has said for months they wanted to move quickly on our first contract. Instead, they’re sitting on their hands on key issues like severance pay and outsourcing our work to contractors — the very protections we unionized to create. Our message: Get real. We are. 🦅

Under the agreement, the company will not be able to arbitrarily discipline or fire @latimes journalists without establishing “just cause” — the gold standard in job protections, and a powerful shield for us and our work. Thank you, bargaining committee! ✊

We’re marking this (un)happy birthday to make sure management knows we find this milestone unacceptable. We want a comprehensive counterproposal ASAP. And there’s no better way to do that than with cake, party hats and streamers! We are always stronger together 🎂💪 🎉
