it's been a big week for media unions, and there's no better way to make big wins across the industry than promoting ~solidarity~ @viceunion is fighting for raises and better pay, and we need your support to get there! #1u #1vice1contract

We've been bargaining our contract for almost 2 years, but BuzzFeed won't budge on critical issues like wages — all while preparing to go public and make executives even richer. So TODAY, we're walking out to send a reminder that there's no BuzzFeed News without us. #BFNWalksOut

Staff turnover at this rate is preventable with a strong contract that protects and empowers workers. This is a great campaign!
When you leave NYC, it’s because—well, read the personal essays. When you leave @NYMag, as half our shop has done in the past 3 years, it’s often because of workplace issues our contract is trying to fix. Read on for stories from our colleagues about “Why They Left ‘New York.’”

BREAKING: Warrior Met Coal made $38.4 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021 — its most profitable results since the pandemic began, the company admitted. Yet Warrior Met Coal refuses to negotiate a fair contract with coal miners who have been on strike for 8 months.

The era of at-will employment at @NewYorker is over. We have reached an agreement with the company on #JustCauseNoExceptions, and we’re calling off our @NewYorkerFest picket. Thank you all for the support!

BREAKING: @ewarren and @AOC have joined our fight for just cause. They are set to appear at a New Yorker Festival event on Oct. 5—and they’ve committed not to cross our digital picket line until @NewYorker management agrees to #JustCauseNoExceptions. nytimes.com/2020/09/30/busin…

Hey @CondeNast, just to clarify (again): Just Cause doesn't mean you can't discipline. It means that your employees have the basic right to fair due process, to progressive discipline, to dispute & question, to defend themselves, & to seek representation. #JustCauseNoExceptions
Bargaining update: @newyorker/@condenast management is still pushing back against just cause. The company wants “the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether an employee’s conduct or performance warrants discipline.” newyorkerunion.com/tidbits

In honor of Labor Day, here’s a goal for the coming decade: A 30-hour workweek by Labor Day 2030. It’s been 80 years (and a 250+% gain in productivity) since we established a 40-hour week. It’s time to take back some more time—for family, faith, fraternity, and fun—once again.

It’s been 2 weeks since we announced our union. This week we responded with a formal petition letter addressed to @eldsjal @DawnOstroff @mootron. It was signed by 100% of our members. @Spotify we are asking once again for recognition without further delay or division.
