Thuc Nhi Nguyen: Solidarity from a Guild journalist

I started my journalism career with the Southern California News Group and there's nothing I would like to see more than the group's continued success. That's why I want to congratulate SCNG journalists on the decision to unionize. They deserve to be protected and treated fairly because they work tirelessly to deliver news that's more essential now than ever. Our industry isn't easy, and certainly it's not getting easier, but pursuing collective representation ensures that there is necessary support for journalists as they work toward a brighter future.

Thuc Thi Nguyen is a former SCNG journalist. She is now a sports reporter at the Los Angeles Times and a member of the L.A. Times Guild.
