Aug. 13 represents the fact that black women must work well into 2020 to earn as much as white men earned in 2019. News organizations are among the offenders. Join the fight for #BlackWomensEqualPay https://www.newsguildequalpay.org//newsguild-equal-pay-now

Ballots were mailed for the election of the NewsGuild president today, Oct. 24. https://bit.ly/342P1LN NewsGuild-CWA members should be on the lookout for the ...delivery of balloting material for the upcoming election of the Guild president. The vast majority of members will receive a ballot in the mail from the American Arbitration Association. Return ballots must be in the AAA post office box before the end of the day Dec. 9 in order to be counted. A dozen locals opted to conduct in-person balloting for some or all of their members. The official voting period for in-person balloting is Nov. 12 through Nov. 17, 2019. Members of those locals will receive in the mail a Notice of Election that details the dates, times and locations for balloting.

News organizations demand transparency from government and business. So why won’t publishers act transparently when it comes to pay for women and people of color in their own organizations? We demand #Transparency and #BlackWomensEqualPay. Join us: www.NewsGuildEqualPay.org
