Forever will stand in solidarity with my former union colleagues. They're real ones and deserve oh so much better!!!! ✊🏽🖤

I'll continue cheering for the Reader from the sidelines, and will especially continue supporting my comrades at the @Reader_Union who deserve better pay for keeping the spirit of the paper alive.

Should say *solidarity* fund, rather than strike, but let’s show @HBHWorkers that we’ve got their back whatever they decide

After 20 months of negotiations, enough is enough: Today, more than 1,000 @NYTimesGuild members pledged to walk out if @nytimes does not agree to a complete and fair contract by Dec. 8.

STATEMENT: The NewsGuild of New York Condemns Federal Court Ruling Attacking Communications Between Workers and a Free Press (@SBWorkersUnited)
This decision is an unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of a free press and a brazen attack on workers’ rights.

We are extremely sad to announce the death of our friend and comrade Mike Davis, the pioneering historian of the US working class and fierce critic of the economic, political, and military apparatuses of the US state machine and the brutalities of empires in general.

We are proud to support our striking @PGHGuild siblings. Their work is essential to our communities, and they deserve a fair contract!

Can Matt Martin—a young, Black progressive alderperson on the North Side—break the long-standing tradition of the mayor appointing committee chairs?
My latest for @Chicago_Reader

For years, the dedicated members of our union have reported on politics, injustice, sports and the arts. We worked amid conflict, COVID and tear gas to bring readers meaningful news.
We stood up for our paper.
Now we want our paper to stand up for us. #FairCSTContractNow

Today we’re fighting against a way Alden Global Capital and @TribPub makes their profit: laying off media workers and leaving millions of people without access to dependable community news.
Our mission is delivering news our communities deserve. 🧵
