When Dotdash Meredith shuttered @EW print last week, many of us were cruelly laid off without severance or support that recognizes our contributions to the company. We, the more than 70 current and former staffers who made EW a must-read, demand better.

What do you say, @ayeshacurry? Stand with @MeredithUnion and the workers who worked long days and weekends WITHOUT PAY on your beautiful magazine.
Replying to @PeopleIncUnion
.@AyeshaCurry your vision for Sweet July mentions “the stories behind the makers are as important as the products they sell." That story is currently one of exploitation. Will you publicly support @MeredithUnion workers & demand @MeredithCorp pay them what they're owed?

Today we head to the bargaining table to kick off contract negotiations with @MeredithCorp. Our goal is to build a more equitable, diverse, inclusive and safe workplace that mutually raises up workers and ensures the continued success of the brands we take so much pride in. #1u

There’s a way to both see me talk and get a SIGNED copy of my new book, if one or both of those things appeal to you! Thanks!!

Today, the Meredith Union—the people who make @People, @PeopleTV, @Shape_Magazine, @marthaliving and @EW—filed unfair labor practice charges against our employer @MeredithCorp for its unlawful union-busting. #KeepYourPromisesMeredith

most of what meredith offers, they offer to white men at the top and no one else—we formed this union so that every single employee can have workplace safety and a competitive salary (though for many of my colleagues, a livable wage would be an improvement) #meredithunion

Meredith says it believes in direct communication and open dialogue with its employees—which is why the company gave a statement to the press without responding directly to us.
We already voted with 90% support by signing union cards. A secret ballot election where the outcome is a foregone conclusion is just a procedural obstacle to delay recognition of the union.

this has big “count every legal vote” energy

proud and excited to continue the 2020 revolution—this time at work. it’s time we got a place at the table.
We stand together as proud employees of @MeredithCorp brands @EW, @PeopleTV, @Shape_Magazine, and @MarthaLiving to request voluntary recognition of us joining our union colleagues at @People as one @NYGuild bargaining unit.

This is the David Sedaris we need. The world's favorite humor essayist shares his thoughts on luck, loneliness, and releasing a literary highlight reel, 'The Best of Me,' into the strangest of times. bit.ly/2H7hiKN

He'll never read this tweet but I'm so honored David Sedaris said yes to being the cover star for our first-ever Fall Books issue. It feels good to feel good about something (for now).
Replying to @EW
You can find our expanded Fall Books Special, featuring David Sedaris, exclusively at @BNBuzz beginning Sept. 25.
