Democrat & Chronicle journalists went on strike this past weekend, and remained on strike through the eclipse. They're protesting what they describe as "bad faith" bargaining by Gannett.

Our guests discuss their position, and how they hope to find common ground while looking to the future of the print journalism industry.
