We’ve spent 15 months bargaining with @MinuteMediaLTD. We’ve reached agreements on some issues, but management’s proposals on wages, medical benefits and AI remain unacceptable. We’ve upheld and rebuilt SI, and we deserve better. This is what we’re fighting for. 🧵 (1/4)

An update from the SI Union:
A navy blue card with a white header, providing an update from the SI Union. The text says: A LITTLE OVER a week ago, Sports Illustrated management laid off nine of our members, including three colleagues who had been with SI for over a decade and our entire golf vertical. This devastating action came less than a month after we ratified a new contract with SI's current operator, Minute Media. We were pleased to reach a three-year deal that raised wages, improved medical benefits and parental leave, protected against AT's creep into our work, preserved our remote work flexibility and much more.

A navy blue card with white text. The text says: We didn't think we would need to rely on our hard-won severance provisions so soon. But now, after an unsuccessful corporate transaction with the "Al-powered" startup VideoVerse led to the layoffs of our members, we are relieved we have a strong contract. As long as we're here, we are going to keep fighting to uphold SI's legacy. Much of what you've read about SI, including AI-generated content appearing on the OnSI contributor network, has nothing to do with our members or our work. We demand that management invest in our human-powered journalism and differentiate it from the contributor network.

A navy blue card with white text. The text says: We will fight for our members who have been affected by these layoffs and will ensure Minute Media follows all the provisions of our new contract. We know how much our brand and its history means to so many of you, and we won't stop fighting for everything that the SI name should mean.

During this contract fight, our members have delivered exclusive interviews with star athletes, on-site coverage from championship events, industry-leading analysis and engaging content that upholds SI’s name.
 We are SI. The time for a fair contract is NOW 📝

Hi 👋 It has been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we’re standing side-by-side with other @nyguild shops to send a clear, simple message: News, not slop. Readers deserve journalism crafted by human hands. Here's how we've been fighting back during collective bargaining 👇

Through collective bargaining, we are continuing to press for protections that help prevent the spread of AI in the newsroom. We believe our readers should get the best journalism humans can make. We're calling on SI to commit to who has built its legacy: its people.

We are excited to share that we’ve begun bargaining a contract with our operators at Minute Media. When Minute Media acquired Sports Illustrated, it took on more than just the legacy of the brand. It took on a stable of talented and hard-working employees as well. (1/3) 🧵

We also had a union contract in place at our previous employer, and we believe the rights and protections we already fought for remain vital for our members. We are using our previous contract as a framework with which to bargain the new one. (2/3)

A fair union contract will ensure Sports Illustrated remains an industry-leading workplace that can attract and keep talented people, do right by its employees and live up to the standard of the brand’s history. We look forward to working toward that contract together. (3/3)
