This week we protested @nytimes execs’ attempt to unlawfully require us to work onsite in the NYT offices. NYT cannot change our working conditions without bargaining with us first.

You may be wondering: Why is your union logo a catfish? We're so glad you asked.

We're the first Mississippi-based news organization to unionize!!!!! I'm so proud of my coworkers for coming together and beyond stoked that we got voluntary recognition. This is no small feat in the South!

Hey y'all. We are the editorial workers @MSTodayNews @VeriteNewsNOLA. We’ve unionized for a stronger, better Deep South Today. Here's why:

Today @cesarconde_ is delivering his @NBCNews Chairman’s Update, and we have no doubt he’s going to ignore the three years of union busting he and @NBCNews management have engaged in. So, we thought we’d let New York City know what they've been up to!

I spent the weekend helping organize this hardship fund for people in the union who can't afford to have a day's pay docked. (We're journalists; there are a lot.) If you can help kick in, it's appreciated. gofund.me/f91daddc

🔥 WE’RE WALKING OUT! 🔥 At 9AM tomorrow, join the Insider Union’s picket line across from Zuccotti Park! We’ll have music, solidarity, and enough chanting to make your ears ring! Insider management is threatening to lay off 60 unit members. Help us fight against bad bosses!

As several random strangers have remarked to me in the last 24 hours: “Pittsburgh is a union town.” Thank you @steelworkers for supporting the Post-Gazette strikers fighting for affordable health insurance and for the company to follow federal law.

We frequently see headlines about big corporations going to extreme lengths to prevent workers from organizing — but what happens when our newsrooms are run by the union-busters? @NBCNews is secretly training managers to stomp out workplace organizing. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Where's the leadership at @NBCNews? We've had 6 bargaining sessions this year and management has skipped *all* of them, instead sending a third party lawyer to reject our industry-standard proposals — so we went searching for @janelleNBC, @CatherineKimNY, and @libbyleist.
A pile of "Sorry we missed you!" flyers, which have been edited to include information about NBC News management refusing to appear at the bargaining table rather than shipping / packaging information. "Editorial managers cannot be located." Six missed attempts. More info: See you April 12th! "Editorial managers for NBC News have refused to attend a single bargaining session this year, and have yet to articulate a reason for the illegal layoffs and unit reductions from January. Management’s bargaining proposals provide $0 in wage increases and would allow them to terminate anyone at any time, lower salaries at will, reassign our work to freelancers, and require in-office work five days a week. Is this the future that NBC News management is fighting for?"

Happening now: members of the @nyguild protesting inside the @nytimes newsroom. The contact expired 2 years ago today. Staff haven’t gotten a raise in 3 years, while top executives have given themselves multimillion dollar raises.

.@ColorOfChange needs to get its priorities straight. Our bargaining unit called for accountability during our all-staff meeting today after discovering some of our “leaders” in management had a public Slack channel denigrating union members (1/10)
