Gannett journalists to strike nationwide in protest of CEO.
TL;DR
Journalists at roughly two dozen newsrooms run by Gannett, the largest newspaper chain in the U.S., will go on a mostly one-day strike on June 5 to protest the company's leadership and cost-cutting measures imposed since its 2019 merger with GateHouse Media. The measures include job cuts, shuttering of newsrooms, squeezed pay and benefits, and a failure to negotiate pay and working conditions in good faith. The walkout will coincide with Gannett's annual shareholder meeting, and some newsrooms will strike for two days or more.
