The Vox Media Union has walked out today. Here’s what it looks like in the New York office.
ThinkProgress Union retweeted
I came to Vox almost 3 years ago. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. And I was finally promoted a couple months ago. But so many of my brilliant colleagues aren’t so lucky. They deserve better.
I hope the company agrees to a fair contract with @vox_union.
ThinkProgress Union retweeted
With this being the last scheduled day of bargaining, the SBNation.com NBA team won’t be providing any Game 3 coverage today until @vox_union receives a fair contract.
This was a hard decision, but securing that contract today is more important than an NBA Finals game

we’re going to get a new star is born remake before buzzfeed management recognizes their own workers yes i absolutely do hate to see it
ThinkProgress Union retweeted
👏Recognize 👏the👏damn👏 @bfnewsunion 👏 NOW👏
Today marks two months since going public with our campaign to form a union and create a more equitable BuzzFeed News.
The company still hasn’t recognized our union - making them an outlier among digital media companies. #BuzzFeedNewsUnionNow

This is outrageous. Fortune management is using an outdated rule to deny people who don't spend 30% of their time working on the print product the right to join #FortuneUnion
We call on Fortune to meet the realities of a modern newsroom and recognize the will of its workers #1u

I find it revealing when people mock where I came from, & say they’re going to “send me back to waitressing,” as if that is bad or shameful.
It’s as though they think being a member of Congress makes you intrinsically “better” than a waitress.
But our job is to serve, not rule.

"Amid pressure from the digital media company's staff union, Vox Media ... will not enforce existing mandatory arbitration clauses in employment agreements and will not include them in future contracts." ✊

Just got laid off by @Vice on my five year anniversary lol. Today would feel very different without my @viceunion family who worked themselves to the (rat) bone to prepare us for this very situation. Take this as a reminder to unionize your workplace ✊
ThinkProgress Union retweeted
I was among Vice’s layoffs today. Despite the crazy, @NoiseyMusic gave me some of the best 3.5 years of my life, and I’ll always be proud of the work we did. It’s still the best team and music publication out there. Keep reading and writing for it. (1/2)

I know it's not a long-term solution, but ThinkProgress does accept freelance pieces. If you're looking to place a story, here's our info: thinkprogress.org/pitches/

Thinking of our pals at @thedodounion today! They've got FOUR back-to-back bargaining sessions this week with @GroupNineMedia mgmt and are fighting hard for a great first contract. Stay strong, friends!

German is tweeting truths right now. We're spending today and tomorrow at the bargaining table as we try to work with Vox Media to improve diversity and equity at the company. My coworkers are the best part of my job and I'm proud to represent them.

Props to @vox_union for this first day bargaining L👀K and all the things they've accomplished in six months!
#tbt to our first day of bargaining! In six months, we've come so far on some of our most important issues, like:
- our intellectual property
- ensuring credit for our work
- protecting our editorial independence and integrity
- a strong recuperation time (aka comp time) policy
