All right, thank you so much, definitely appreciate it. Just so everybody knows, I am going to be running the tech and this panel at the same time. So I would ask our audience to please bear with me. And right now I'm just bringing all our speakers on stage where we project. So we have Melanie, Suzanne and Jack with us here. We're going to be talking about unionization in newsrooms across New Jersey over the last year or so particularly in the broader context of the unionization, I'd say wave that's been happening, at least recently, very encouraging and inspiring stuff going on throughout the country, and especially in New Jersey. Before we get into things, you know, start off with little introductions. First of all, my name is Joe Amditis. I am the Assistant Director here at the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair State I've been working with and for and on behalf of news organizations of all sizes and shapes in New Jersey for the last eight years now with the center and then before that started my own little digital news organization outside of New Brunswick there. But, you know, I've been fascinated by this topic for as long as I've been interested in media, just the idea of collective power, collective bargaining, and of course, something that the center supports collaborative, collaborative power and decision making here. So I'd love for you all to give a brief introductions, introduce yourself to our audience here. Tell us about your role in the in your newsroom and in your union. And after that, we'll go into a little bit of the nitty gritty timeline stuff. So you want to start with Melanie.
