Haven’t done a Wordle in 5 days now. (That’s the new streak to keep!) Thanks to the @NYTGuildTech for making these strike friendly games! Wishing you guys strength and solidarity on the picket line today!
Welcome to day 5 of our ULP strike against the @nytimes. We just published even more strike games for you to play while you #Breakyourstreak. mini.toomuchdog.com/

PLAYING GAMES: In the great tradition of strike publications, we offer our tech-worker version. guild-build.netlify.app/ Now you can play and not be a scab. We also want to thank the multitude of @nytimes subscribers who have stopped playing and honored our digital picket line.

ELECTION DAY STRIKE: We are back out on the picket line today. We know this is a hard day to be on strike for our members but we want to be clear: We are here because of the decisions of @NYTimes management.

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Two scabs on one ticket.
NewsGuild prez @gaufre confirms for me that JD Vance crossed a picket line by publishing an op-ed today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where workers are on strike. No excuse for it, he says. "JD Vance is a scab just like anybody else who crosses a picket line." h/t @metzgov

The absolute embarrassment of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and its blatant labor violations should be national news, as it should have been for the last two years.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette refused to bargain in good faith with the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh and unilaterally changed workers’ employment conditions, the National Labor Relations Board said in a decision announced Friday. triblive.com/business/labor-…

Susy Carroll pitched this idea last year: an investigation into the commodification of unclaimed bodies in Texas. After she died in May, @jonschuppe & I worked with @JulieShapiro to finish Susy's story. I'm proud to share one more byline with her. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/uni…

Stand with us as we tell @law360 and @LexisNexis that we will not tolerate their stonewalling, labor law violations and paltry wage proposals. Don’t cross our digital picket line by clicking on any Law360 articles or newsletters.
