The Grist Union stands with our PNW guild friends. Please sign this petition to support local journalists in Oregon fighting for a fair contract from their new owner, Carpenter Media Group

The Grist Union stands with our PNW guild friends. Please sign the Everett Herald's petition against the absurd conditions that their new owner, Carpenter Media Group, is trying to force on them

Gooooood morning, @EverettHerald readers!
Please support our strike by refusing to cross the picket line. Do not read or engage with @EverettHerald today.
And if scab workers from Carpenter Media Group contact you, please decline to provide an interview.

WBEZ SAG-AFTRA leadership is deeply disappointed that Chicago Public Media has decided to lay off nine of our colleagues who create some of the station’s most lauded, well-known programs. This decision eliminates our podcast department, which includes the shows Nerdette…

#BREAKING: The Marshall Project is officially unionized.
Our leadership voluntarily recognized the Marshall Project guild, and now we'll bargain with them over working conditions.
Do you work in media? Do you want to unionize? Get in touch. We love to talk shop.
INCREDIBLE NEWS: We have made an agreement with the leadership of @MarshallProj and we are officially a union! We are so excited to begin working toward our first contract.

It's been a long road (tho not as long as some) and I am so incredibly proud of how far we've come since we started this journey more than a year ago. Special shoutout to my fellow bargaining committee members @LV_Anderson, @Tahtone, @compatibilism, Josh Kimelman (& @emilypont)

This is a huge win for the workers of the @GristUnion, who are leading coverage of the climate crisis. This is a big deal not just for these workers, but for coverage of the environmental beat at large. 🎉🎉

Huge props to our excellent Bargaining Committee for their months of tireless work and to the whole union for mobilizing around this effort. @grist is a great place to work and @GristUnion is making it better every day.
