    Today, AP News Media Guild members across the U.S. are sending emails to Executive Editor @JuliePace and CEO Daisy Veerasingham opposing the offshoring of 40 U.S. and U.K. jobs to India. This is a violation of our contract and demand this effort be stopped.

    AP is planning on laying off 30 video and photo production staffers on August 21 so the company can build a new hub in India. Let’s be clear: Offshoring is not expansion.

    1/4 @AP has told some video and photo guild members in the U.S. that the last day for those affected by layoffs will be August 21. Meanwhile the company is actively hiring for these same jobs in India.
    On a red background with the AP News Guild Logo, white text reads: "Layoff updates. AP has told some video and photo guild members in the U.S. that the last day for those affected by layoffs will be August 21. Meanwhile the company is actively hiring for these same jobs in India.
    On a red background with the AP News Guild logo at the top of the page, white text reads, "Meanwhile over on likedin..." Then there is a screengrab of the union on Linkedin reposting Vice president of news and head of production, Derl McCrudden's post about the new video and photo positions in India. 

The union's comments read: "Derl cheekily forgot to mention that the AP is laying off dozens of producers across the U.S., LatAm and Europe to create this hub in India. Specifically in the U.S., the company is seeking to eliminate positions covered by the Guild in yet another attempt to take away good union jobs. The Associated Press is terminating legacy producers and skilled journalists to expand a new hub where they are "not looking for perfection." The company is sacrificing reliability to save pennies. These new jobs are breaking the hearts of AP journalists who dedicated decades of service in the name of independent news. Offshoring is not expanding."

    AP wants to lay off 30 more U.S. journalists and move those roles to India. That’s after laying off or buying out nearly 150 U.S. staffers over the past two years.
    On a red background with the AP News Guild Logo, white text reads:
"AP Layoffs... AGAIN! Over the past two years, The Associated Press has bought out or laid of nearly 150 of its U.S. journalists. Now AP wants to lay off 30 more from U.S. staff and move those jobs to India."
    On a red background with the AP News Guild Logo, white text reads:
On June 30 AP announced their plan to “develop a centralized global hub in India to increase the size of our production staff” for video and photos. The Guild was told that the company seeks to ELIMINATE 30 JOBS in the U.S.
