Official account for @slate's staff union with the @WGAEast. #1u

Joined January 2018
Our CEO made $471,105 in 2023, nearly 7X the average journalist’s salary. His 2023 bonus alone would have made him one of the highest paid workers in the newsroom today. Our @cascadepbs union members struggle to make ends meet. #union #FairContract Sign our petition. 🔗 in bio

Today we want to share some love for our striking Guild family in Pittsburgh. We could not be more proud to support them as they continue to refuse to cave to the despicable Blocks. We know they will win this fight! Support them by donating unionprogress.com/donate/ @PGHGuild

Two weeks before @NBCNews proudly announced the hiring of Ronna McDaniel, execs illegally terminated 13 union journalists. @Cesarconde_ never offered an explanation for the layoffs, but actions speak clearly — NBC prioritized an election denier over its own reporters.

Solidarity with @law360union! Absolutely SHAMEFUL for @LexisNexis to illegally lay off their workers like this 😠
WE WALKED OUT: We are on a 24-hour work stoppage to stand in solidarity with our co-workers who were unlawfully laid off. WE are @Law360. #layoffs360

Last week, @CondeNast CEO @RogerLynch told @Axios the company had no plans for more layoffs. Today, rather than come to the bargaining table with new contract proposals, management instead proposed five more names to terminate, and threatened more to come.

Yesterday's @PostGuild walkout was a historic moment of solidarity. Let's keep the momentum going—we need you to write a letter to @WashingtonPost management now to let them know these workers need a fair contract! actionnetwork.org/letters/wo…
Our company tried to scare workers away from coming out today. Instead, hundreds of us been living it up for 10+ hours and have been joined by loyal readers, journalism legends, union leaders, security guards, custodial staff and a whole lotta dogs and babies. We love you all.

I am one of the 4employees @peretti is excluding from the same severance package as my colleagues based on solely on my zip code. I won the newsroom's first major award, the Polk, in 2018 — work he used to present to investors. But I did so w/ help from copy editors & curation
Even though BuzzFeed News has closed down, we’re still at the bargaining table, making sure everyone losing their jobs is being treated fairly. Unfortunately, BuzzFeed couldn’t care less 🧵
