Skoufis Congratulates Local Journalists on News Guild Union Win
“I want to congratulate local journalists of LoHud/The Journal News, Times Herald-Record, and Poughkeepsie Journal on their unionization win today with the National Labor Relations Board. The newly-formed Hudson Valley News Guild stands for fair living wages, affordable healthcare, and journalistic integrity, and I’m honored to support them in the years ahead.
“After years of cost-cutting and consolidation by their corporate parent, Gannett, the News Guild’s creation stands as a beacon of hope for independent journalism everywhere. The ability to unionize is inextricably woven into the American experience, and I’m honored to extend my full-throated support to our neighbors as they fight to reclaim their newsrooms,.” Senator James Skoufis said.

The North Rockland Chamber of Commerce held its most recent membership breakfast on September 14th, 2021 at The Pancake Factory in Stony Point, NY.
