For the first time in its 158-year history, workers at the Florida Times Union are planning to strike on Tuesday
The wave of strikes start Monday, the day of Gannett’s annual shareholder meeting. The Times-Union strike will take place on Tuesday at Riverfront Park.
In 2016, there were 90 employees with the paper in Jacksonville. Today that number has dropped to 22 — a 76% decline. Alexandria Mansfield is a relatively new reporter with the T-U. She plans to participate in the one-day strike next week. She spoke about the fact that many young people today get their news from social media platforms like TikTok.
The News Guild-CWA represents more than 50 Gannett bargaining units, covering more than 1,000 employees.
