Newsletter: Washington Post CEO demands return to office—but he wasn’t there

This Thursday is Thanksgiving for our American members. I hope almost all of y’all have the day off and can enjoy spending it with friends and family and hold onto the people you’re thankful for. 

I think about how I was helped into this union by folks I never knew existed. And I see thousands of our members every week stand up for someone else and help someone else they don’t know. And that’s true power. 

I am thankful to be part of a massive family 27,000 large in the Guild alone. But 400,000 strong in the Communications Workers of America.

This week I’ll be especially thinking about how thousands of you have stood with our striking family in Pittsburgh at the Post-Gazette. Please join me in continuing to stand with them and donate directly to their holiday fund to help them this season.
