There is a whisper campaign that we're getting raises. We also heard we had already gotten raises. The chattering class is chattering. Don't listen to anything about our pay until you hear it from us.

Noisy Creek bought us, promised more resources, but refused an interim agreement to raise unit wages. Now they want to hire a new reporter for more than they pay current staff. If the company can't afford to pay workers a wage we can thrive on, we can't afford new reporters.

For decades, workers at @TheStranger , @portlandmercury , @EverOutSeattle , @EverOutPortland and @BoldTypeTickets have fostered an alternative voice in Pacific Northwest media. Today, we have asked the upper management at Index Media to voluntarily recognize our union.

Index Media has officially recognized our union! Our members showed serious solidarity over the last two week as we negotiated for our bargaining unit. After several pointed emails, we came to an agreement with management.

Salaries at @TheStranger , @portlandmercury , Everout, and Bold Type Tickets are even lower than this. Most of our unit makes less than $65k. The workers at @CascadePBSUnion deserve better, and so do we.

Cascade PBS says its “vision is to be the most essential and relevant media organization in the region.” Hate to break it to you, @CascadePBS , but that costs $. How do you expect to do that when you’re so behind the curve on compensating journalists? (1/3)

We need to pay our workers solid wages to cover these issues. It's an insanely important time to have a well funded progressive paper.

Seattle this week: ✅ SODA/SOAP, loitering legislation ✅ alt ballot initiative to compete w/ i-137, opting to defund affordable housing instead of taxing corporations ✅ Lynch mob attacks Black activist ✅ City to incarcerate more ppl for misdemeanors What else did I miss? 😵‍💫

We’ve built a reputation on eating the rich and standing up for progressive values. We're asking Index Media to embody those values through voluntary recognition.

Index Media workers are deeply invested in our work, but we face uncertainty, ever-growing responsibilities, and wages far below those of our industry competitors.

Thank you all for the support. Glad to be joining the ranks of @PacNWGuild We look forward to getting to the bargaining table to build a better Index Media for all workers as we fight for four work days, 20 hours a week, $69 an hour.

We realize the best way to ensure we are heard in shaping the future of this company, our roles, and our wages, is to form a union.

We proposed a bridge agreement for Noisy Creek to give every single union member a raise. That would be a great "honeymoon period."

NEW: Cherry Street Coffee House owner complained to City Council that paying minimum wage may force him to close stores. Outraged, the workers shut down one of his stores anyway. Business may have power in City Hall, but workers still run the workplace.

@NoisyUnion (at The Stranger) and @CascadePBSUnion are newsrooms with reporters and media staff keeping us all informed. They should be able to afford to live comfortably in the cities they cover. Follow them on social media, and amplify their fights for fair pay.
