It's great stories like these that only provoke more questions about what exactly @wamu885's leaders were thinking when they laid off 16 people, including environment reporter @JacobFenston. Just a mind-bogglingly bad decision.
I've been to the Tidal Basin a million times over the years, but I'd never seen the water this high. It really feels like a glimpse of the future. npr.org/2024/03/19/123889637…

It is imperative that @SylviaBurwell, Seth Grossman, Erika Pulley-Hayes, and Michael Tribble #UnlockDCist. It’s a matter of democracy.
See our letter below. We encourage you to share:

If you believe in the power of local journalism to hold the government accountable, to bring levity to your day, or to tell you something new about the region you love, please consider emailing [email protected] to save DCist. We rely on readers and listeners like you.

This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.

Last night I attended the @PoliticsProse event for author @hamiltonnolan as he discussed his new book THE HAMMER with the @afa_cwa President @FlyingWithSara! Great discussion made even better in that it was held in the first bookstore in DC to unionize with @PolProseUnion! #1u

Workers @washingtonpost have been in contract negotiations with our bosses for 18 months.
But the company is refusing to pay us what we’re worth or bargain in good faith.
So on Dec. 7, we’re walking off the job for 24 hours.

SOLIDARITY ALERT!!!! A store in Chevy Chase has filed a petition to unionize and are hosting their first solidarity sip-in tomorrow, Saturday July 29th!!! Show up and show out!!! @SBWorkersUnited @WorkersUnitedMA #UnionStrong #sbworkersunited #sbwu

ALT A flyer for a Solidarity Sip-In with the logo of Starbucks Workers United as the letterhead. It reads, “Solidarity Sip-In. Saturday, July 29, from 10am-12pm at the 5500 Connecticut Avenue NW Starbucks store. Join us for some union-strong coffee and demand an end to Starbucks’ illegal union busting. Order an easy to make drink (such as brewed coffee, iced coffee, cold brew, etc.) under the name “union strong” or “union (your name)” and share some words of support with the organizing baristas :)”

We are on an UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE STRIKE! ✊
Half Price Books has failed to approach negotiations with the respect we deserve, and refused to show up to bargaining today.
📞 Call our union locations and let mgmt know you support us!

What a great time at @PoliticsProse this afternoon listening to @rsgexp talk about union power (and participation) in contract negotiations with @FlyingWithSara.
S/O to @PolProseUnion — love me a union bookstore.

BREAKING: We ratified our contract yesterday, @newsguild's first in book publishing, 16 months since we first sat down at the table. We’re proud of what we accomplished as a union, which would have been unthinkable without the support of our authors and readers🧵
