ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Employees at the Democrat & Chronicle have voted to authorize a strike.
Members of the Newspaper Guild of Rochester say they will strike starting Saturday if they can’t reach a deal with Gannett, the owner of the Democrat & Chronicle, by the end of the week.
Union leaders say they’ve gone five years without a contract. Canandaigua Daily Messenger employees will also strike. This comes just days before the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8.
News10NBC has reached out to Gannett for a comment and is waiting to hear back.
