Some reporters with the South Bend Tribune have gone on strike.
They’ve joining a nationwide strike against their parent company Gannett.
The South Bend News Guild says many Tribune workers have gone a decade or even longer without pay raises and that the company has shrunk their staff to nearly a third of what it was three years ago when they formed a union.
Gannett is the largest newspaper company in the U.S., owning more than 200 papers including the South bend Tribune and the Indianapolis Star.

“the company has shrunk their staff to nearly a third of what it was three years ago when they formed a union.”
Those two things couldn’t possibly be related, could they?
In other news, the accuracy of the content at the Tribune has increased 2400% since the strike began.
Who would know if the writers were on strike. Who gets the news paper anymore ? Maybe some very old people who still have corded telephones. Good thing we can get news from other sources in the age of modern Electronics.
And nobody noticed
The once proud Tribune was destroyed by Harvard punk Franklin Schurz Jr., with help from Jack “Spike” Colwell. Nothing more than the propaganda organ of the Democratic party for the past few decades.
Oh well!
