🚨 STRIKE ALERT: Journalists at Science News are on strike and holding a 12-hour picket outside of the office! After 560 days of bargaining, the Science News Media Guild (@sn-media-guild.bsky.social) is demanding and fair contract NOW!

One year ago we took a step into the unknown as a unit. We walked out on a ULP strike, fighting for just cause, fair wages, and remote worker protections. A supermajority of our unit participated in this historic action, and it worked - we won our first contract.

Incredibly proud of the bravery and hard work that made this happen - y'all are amazing 🙌✊

Proud to rally with the @nydnunion.bsky.social today as they fight for what they deserve ✊❤️

Standing in solidarity with @nydnunion.bsky.social fair contract now!

BREAKING: NYC Council has approved the “Too Tough to Die” resolution! This measure by NYC’s leaders sends an unmistakable message to @nydailynews.com owner Alden Global Capital: The time for a fair contract is NOW!

New Yorkers all over the five boroughs are standing with the Daily News. Join them as New York's hometown paper fights for a fair contract from our private equity owner, Heath Freeman head of Alden Global Capital.

So grateful for this community and proud to take part!

Times Tech members are getting out the vote for Zohran! Some of our members were able to canvas this week with @cwadistrict1.bsky.social in support of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his efforts to defend the working class 💪❤️

STATEMENT: The NewsGuild of New York condemns the violent attack by ICE agents against three journalists covering immigration proceedings in Manhattan and demands that immigration courts take immediate action to prevent similar attacks from happening in the future. www.nyguild.org/post/stateme...

Our union stands united with workers that do the real work of facilitating the great American marketplace of ideas. We stand for the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, and the freedom of every worker who chooses to speak truth to power. cwa-union.org/news/release...

Nexstar and Sinclair should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to cave to Brendan Carr's unconstitutional extortion tactics. If your corporate interests don't allow you to stand up for the First Amendment, get out of the news business.

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

Cheers and solidarity from our members and our @nyguild.bsky.social rep at the NYC Labor Day parade!

So honored to show up for the Kickstarter community - they're out here fighting for our entire industry, setting norms that would give us all a chance at a better work environment. Join in the rally, starting at 5!

Happy Labor Day to everyone out there organizing with us. The hours, pay, leave and job protections we have today are a rich history of our solidarity and the past fights we've won. We're still fighting ✊💪

We’ll give you a hint on today’s Wordle, brought to you every day by the @nytguildtech.bsky.social: Greedy corporate CEOs hate these because they give workers the power to fight for their fair share of the profits THEY create. _ _ _ _ _ strong! ✊

Management has been quietly clawing back our time off, first by cancelling a few “global days off” they gave us during the pandemic and now by ending a years-long practice of giving us a 2 p.m. release on August Fridays.

UNACCEPTABLE: Our members are flooding Slack, demanding answers after we were notified by Condé Nast management that they AGAIN want to lay off union members.

🎉CONTRACT WINS 💪We’ve been under contract for 8 months now, and we’re seeing what all our hard work has accomplished:

Paying it forward to others in the fight with us just makes sense - proud to stand with @pghguild.com

We’re celebrating solidarity through arts & crafts this week. Each year, our members come together for an internal hackathon called Maker Week and we also - in what’s becoming an annual tradition - create and share handmade zines for our members. ✊Know your rights, get involved, and get crafty 🎨

WE FIXED IT: Obviously our successful rally had an effect on @nydailynews.com management, who felt compelled to “write” an op-ed. Unfortunately it’s full of mischaracterizations and missing key facts. As journalists we couldn’t let that slide, so we got out our red pens…

Standing proudly with @NYDNUnion in their fight for fair wages, benefits and job security. We were fighting the same fight last fall, and will be there again one day - we know what we can accomplish in solidarity ✊💪

Super successful rally today with our @nydnunion.bsky.social members. Our message was clear: Defend The Daily News !

@bradlander.bsky.social Hey Brad, thanks for supporting us at the @nytguildtech.bsky.social last year, and thanks for everything that you’re doing now. Keep it up!

The first big test of our contract came when management announced needless staff layoffs, ignoring our contract terms. But we had each other’s backs and organized multiple public actions - we fought to extend termination dates and get our members the severance they were owed.

On May 7th, NYT leadership celebrated another successful earnings report and consistent growth, touting its business strategy and its employees, saying they were “well prepared to meet the moment.” On May 9th, they abruptly laid off 22 tech workers.

THEY ARE TIMES GUILD: We are happy to welcome @theathletic.bsky.social to our @nyguild.bsky.social family. @nytimes.com needs to do the right thing and recognize them as part of the Times Guild. x.com/NYTimesGuild...

WE VOTED YES: (Thread) We are thrilled to share that our members have voted to ratify our new three-year collective bargaining agreement with @nytimes.com…

✊🎉WE HAVE A DEAL 🎉✊ We are thrilled to announce we have reached a tentative three-year agreement with @nytimes.com, pending ratification by our members. There’s so much to share but here are just a few highlights of the deal:

WE HAVE A DEAL: We have reached a tentative agreement with the @nytimes.com for our members. Read more here...

We stand in solidarity with members across the @newsguild.org whose vital organizing efforts would be threatened by this bill. Contact your representatives now to let them know your concerns. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

After an unprecedented Election Week ULP strike, we returned to work today and have called off the NYT Games and Cooking boycotts. #SolidarityStreak #BreakMyStreak #UnionStrong #UnionMadeNYC #Strike #Union #Unions #Tech #Labor #CollectiveBargaining #Contract #NewsGuild #CWA #Solidarity

A WARNING TO THE TIMES: Tuesday, we will be returning to work, after a successful Election Week ULP Strike. We clearly demonstrated how valuable our work is to @nytimes.com. And now we’ll move our fight inside. #GuildBuilds #SolidarityStreak #BreakMyStreak #UnionStrong #UnionMadeNYC #Strike

That wraps up tonight's livestream! Some things we've learned: 1. Union members aren't always great at word searches 🔍 2. NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss is a future Overwatch pro 🏆 3. When we fight, we win — both in real life and OW 🔥✊🔥 Thanks to everyone who tuned in! Goodnight!!

We’re live on Twitch! Come hear about our strike and watch us fumble through an Overwatch match or two! twitch.tv/newsguildcwa

It's day 4 of our ULP strike and it's time to #TurnUpTheHeat for @nytimes.com management. We are asking for support from all of our home cooks out there! Hold the picket line with us by #NotCookingToday - stay off #NYTCooking while we fight for just cause, fair pay and remote work protections.

We are back on the picket line outside @nytimes.com for day 4 of our ULP strike! We are fighting for fair pay, remote worker protections and just cause, and we are not backing down! #SolidarityStreak #BreakMyStreak #UnionStrong #UnionMadeNYC #Strike #Union #Unions #Tech #Election #Election2024

We are a largely remote workforce, with members across the country. As NYC’s picket line draws hundreds, our remote workers are holding their own events in places like Portland, Raleigh, Chicago and (tomorrow) San Francisco… #SolidarityStreak #BreakMyStreak #UnionStrong #UnionMadeNYC #Strike #Union

It is day 3 of our ULP strike and there is nothing that will keep our members off the picket line. We organized this union to bring democracy to our workplace and we will do whatever it takes to win the contract we deserve. ✊ #Election2024 #Labor #Strike#Election2024#Contract #NewsGuild #CWA #Solidarity
