The boss’s promises are temporary. Negotiated and ratified by the workers, a union contract is in writing. #1u

1/7 We stand in solidarity w/ @latguild on a fight we at @insiderunion are all too familiar with— blatant disregard for labor laws and the creation and distribution of quality journalism. Hope @meridak is smarter than @nichcarlson or @hblodget in not testing journalists’ resolve.

There are no "economic headwinds" there are no "evolutions in the media industry" causing these layoffs. The blame is fully and always with these rich dudes in charge, making bad business decisions, and never facing any fucking consequences for them.

After 3 years of thriving with hybrid work, we cannot in good faith agree to a contract that would give @nytimes the unilateral right to call us into the office 5 days a week — the company’s current position. 865 @NYTimesGuild members delivered this petition to management today.

The powerful Histadrut labor union will hold a press conference tomorrow, due to increasing protests against the government’s judicial overhaul and following the ousting of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The union is expected to announce a general strike.

"As many of you know, I've set a goal of 1 million members for our Brotherhood in the next five years. How are we going to do that? First, we're going to organize more than ever before: by sharing the story of being a union worker to the nonunion workers." bit.ly/3yrjSCS

Truly a must-read, lays out what we are up against, from @greenhousenyt “It’s much easier for a multibillion-dollar corporation to face whatever the consequences are of that then to allow a union into one of their stores.” theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

‘Old-school union busting’: how US corporations are quashing the new wave of organizing

Victories at several companies energized organizers, but hostile corporations – and an impotent labor board – stymie negotiations

Our hearts are heavy hearing about a Buffalo Bills football player who was critically injured tonight. We are sending our thoughts to Damar Hamlin, to his family, to the players on both teams, and to all of Buffalo.

🚨🚨🚨 We have less than 72 hours to ensure that the NLRB is fairly funded. If the agency does not receive a significant increase in funding in this omnibus bill, our field staff WILL be furloughed. It’s as simple as that. Congress, fund the NLRB.

With its operating profits way up, the NYT plans a $150 million stock buyback this year. Times journalists are angry that the NYT is offering raises that would leave them far behind inflation. The newsroom may soon vote to authorize an open-ended strike. prospect.org/labor/new-york-…

What’s Wrong at the Times - The American Prospect

Management authorized $150 million for a stock buyback this year but resists the union’s wage proposal, which would yearly come to $15 million more than the paper wants to pay.
