	"description": "Dear Mike Reed, Kristin Roberts &amp;amp; Gannett leadership, It is time for you to reach a contract with the Austin NewsGuild and the Pulitzer Prize finalist journalists at the Austin American-Statesman. STOP: Lying at the bargaining table. Wasting time by showing up late and repeatedly going into a caucus without passing an offer. Refusing to accept proposals that Gannett has approved at other guilds. Offering Austin more restrictive policies than existing company policies. Offering Austin worse than current benefits at any newsroom, including devaluing bereavement leave and trauma leave. Refusing to bargain on common sense agreements that are the current practice. Paying a lawyer that disrespects, bullies and speaks condescending to members of our bargaining team. Offering wage packages that are not a livable wage for Austin and are much lower than you have offered newsrooms in less expensive cities. Refusing protections that ensure a credible, staffed newsroom. For three years, the Austin NewsGuild has bargained in good faith with common sense proposals. It is time to treat your employees with respect. The Austin NewsGuild deserves a fair contract. In Solidarity, Members of the Austin NewsGuild",
