Dear Los Angeles
Since the journalists of The Times began negotiating our first-ever union
contract more than a year ago, many of you have asked what you can do to
support us. Thank you for asking -- and here’s how you can help.
Today, the L.A. Times Guild is launching a campaign that gives a voice to
readers, so you can explain why you care about The Times and support a fair
contract for our journalists.
You can participate in a few different ways.
- Write a digital postcard, perfect for
keeping it short and sweet
- Send us a letter if you have more to
share
- Leave us a voicemail: (213) 349-1310 (please don’t leave your phone number,
- as these messages will be published!)
- Tweet
your support to @latguild, and use the hashtag
#WeLoveTheLAT
If you have space in your messages, please let our new owner, Dr. Patrick
Soon-Shiong, know that you support a fair contract that ensures job security
and a better quality of life for our journalists — and be sure to thank him for
investing in the future of The Times.
Your stories will help push our first-ever contract over the finish
line. We plan to share some of them on our website and social media
accounts, and with the leadership of The Times.
Wrapping up our contract talks quickly means we’ll be able to focus on doing
what we love: delivering the news to you. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
The journalists of the Los Angeles Times
p.s. And here are some of the
messages we’ve received so far — happy reading!
