Journalists represented by The NewsGuild of New York at six of Gannett’s largest papers in New Jersey and New York have reached tentative contract agreements with life-changing increases in pay and job protections, ending three years of contentious bargaining.
The APP-MCJ Guild, which represents editorial staff at the Asbury Park Press, Courier News and the Home News Tribune, and the Hudson Valley NewsGuild, which represents editorial staff at The Journal News, Poughkeepsie Journal and Times Herald-Record, will vote to ratify their contract deals this Thursday.
On Feb. 24, both unions — which have been bargaining separately but coordinating closely — voted jointly in favor of walking out. Bargaining for both unions took place over the next two days and ended with tentative agreements for both.
