What a week, huh?

It's been extra stressful for @idahostatesman journalists as @mcclatchy still refuses to recognize our unanimous union. Now our election is on hold due to coronavirus shutdowns.

Here are some examples of the essential work McClatchy doesn't want to protect.
.@Jacob_Scholl, our newest Statesman reporter, is not eligible to vote for our election but will be protected by our union. We look forward to including him! In just his second week here, he broke some of the state's biggest stories, like this one: idahostatesman.com/news/coronavir…
