Timesland contract helps keep reporter in local journalism

This week, our newsroom saw a powerful example of what guild advocacy can achieve.

We welcomed back a reporter whose job had been eliminated in last spring’s painful layoffs — a return made possible by our contract’s worker recall provision.

We unionized to fight for local news, and help SWVA journalists keep sharing the stories that matter most to our region.

Getting talented reporters back on the beat is a sign of that mission at work.
