Discussion:
@scngguild, @mattdpearce@threads.net

Discussion:

@scngguild:
Under the proposal, members will receive no less than a 6% raise over two years. Some members with many years of experience who have been horribly underpaid will see raises of over 48%. The average raise over the next two years is 12%.

@scngguild:
This TA isn't perfect, but we've come a long way since we unionized three years ago. This was only possible through building solidarity, with support from elected officials, @OCLF, @CaliforniaLabor, and our strike fund donors. Members will hear more on next steps soon. Onward! ✊

@scngguild:
The proposal also includes job protections, such as a procedure for layoffs in inverse order of seniority. Seniority will be measured from when we started with our home paper, not when Alden Global Capital purchased us.
