We are pleased to see David Simon—renowned author, journalist and screenwriter—amplifying this important message on behalf of @FTUSGuild. “Until this industry once again values the people who are elemental to the product, first-class journalism will remain at risk,” he says.

Financial Times showing they can horde resources and chisel working reporters and editors as well as any other media organization. Until this industry once again values the people who are elemental to the product, first-class journalism will remain at risk. Support @FTUSGuild

We applaud our sister union @FTUSGuild for staging this action to secure competitive, common sense wage increases across the US newsroom. Just 1% of the £30mn investment in the company’s new venture capital arm would be enough to facilitate these increases!
FT US Guild@FTUSGuild13 Mar 2024
This morning, we sent an email to management and FT Ventures, the FT’s new £30mn venture capital arm set up to invest in “high-growth media and tech companies.” We asked them to invest just 1% of that in the US newsroom, where revenues have increased by more than 40% since 2019

Solidarity to our sister union @FTUSGuild as they head to the bargaining table this week to secure their first contract! When we fight, we win. Join us in supporting our colleagues by sharing this and spreading the word.
FT US Guild@FTUSGuild11 Mar 2024
We’re in (hopefully) the final stretch of bargaining for our first contract with the @FT! We’re kicking off a week of in-person bargaining with management today in New York. But the work is far from over. We’ve still got a lot to fight for.

This morning, we were notified that Hearst Magazines has laid off 41 of our unit members. Due to “company restructuring,” we are losing talented people whose creativity and institutional knowledge is immeasurable. (1/5)

Solidarity with our colleagues in the @ftsguild as they fight for union security, a cornerstone of a strong union contract. We call on their management to finish the deal.
FT Specialist Guild@ftsguild11 Jul 2023
Huge news to report from the bargaining table. We have reached a tentative agreement that we believe our unit, our managers and our colleagues across the industry can be proud of. However, due to management disorder, we can't yet say we are done.
