ICYMI: The Sac Bee Guild is urging McClatchy to raise salaries and give our lowest paid reporters fair pay.
Currently, eight of our local news reporters (who are predominantly BIPOC + women) are underpaid so much that they qualify for low income housing. We deserve better.
Solidarity with the excellent staff of the Sacramento Bee who deserve a living wage!

But if you look at the pool of local reporters whose wages are so low they qualify for low-income housing, the ratio is flipped: 63% are people of color. Management offered a deal that would leave most of them low-income.

Today, McClatchy countered with an offer that still leaves our lowest paid reporters (who are majority BIPOC and or women), struggling financially.
We demand better.

Please stand with us and share this far and wide. Itβs so important. β
In bargaining with the Sacramento Bee guild today, McClatchy management proposed wage increases so pitiful that they would leave seven of our local journalists eligible for low-income housing.

McClatchy wants you to invest in a Sacramento Bee subscription, but the company doesnβt want to invest in its reporters.
Under managementβs latest offer, seven local journalists would still make salaries low enough to qualify them for low-income housing.
