On Monday our union came to the table ready to bargain with management, six weeks after they last gave us a meeting. We sent them a counterproposal last week in which we compromised considerably on our very reasonable demands, expecting them to find some middle ground with us. 1/3

I think the Pentagon press corps needs to consult with noted First Amendment scholar Walter Sobchak.

Defense News and Military Times journalists past and present came together yesterday to stand up for our union and fight for a fair contract! We made sure people at these events heard us and what we want.

Thanks so so much to everyone who helped out and provided moral support to us. #UnionStrong

Media has been hollowed out from the bottom and a lot of that was beat reporting and grassroots stuff. The top is left without much to support it. There are about a fifth as many reporters per capita compared to 25 years ago.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? (I'm screwed)
