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.

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)
