From the "First Coast News" in Florida
"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Times-Union NewsGuild has announced plans to join the movement of nationwide strikes, starting on June 5, the day of Gannett's annual shareholder meeting. Hundreds of journalists are expected to take park in the strike, in newsrooms from California to New York.
Journalists across the country are taking part in the strike to demand Gannett get serious about reinvesting in local news. This will be the largest collective action that Gannett employees have taken to date, according to the Times-Union NewsGuild press release."

The Montgomery Advertiser is a Gannett newspaper. I've sent the editor a question about employees joining the one day strike. I'll update this posting when, and if, there is a reply.
The Advertiser is not included in a list a news guild members, but you never know.
UPDATE: NO response from several emails...to The Advertiser and to the union organizations.
