“We’re ready to walk out if management doesn't come back and substantively address the major demands we have.” Listen to ProPublica Guild Secretary @jeffernsthausen.bsky.social’s interview on @wbai.org (starting at 34:30): wbai.org/archive/prog...

We stand in solidarity with the @postguild.bsky.social. Democracy dies in darkness, and it's a lot harder to shine a light from a shrinking newsroom. #SaveThePost

Canadian employees at The Athletic will have our second bargaining session with the company today, as we work collectively to negotiate a fair contract. The bargaining committee has our full support! ✊

The White House nominated a science official with no experience in financial regulation to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - but they're not even pretending it's a real nomination. Agency folks openly said it's a procedural move to keep Vought in place www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

Long live the Daily News!

As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

The Fed is making its stress tests more transparent following a lawsuit from the country's biggest banks. The proposal has broad support, but Barr (fmr VC for supervision) says it will make the financial system less safe www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/b... @stacycowley.bsky.social @nytimes.com

Under President Biden, the Federal Reserve and FDIC began pushing big banks to account for climate risks. The rules have now been eliminated. Reported w/ @stacycowley.bsky.social:

Today we delivered to senior management in NY a petition signed by 1,300 ProPublica readers, donors and supporters, as well as fellow journalists at peer newsrooms and former ProPublicans. It’s clear that we have wide support for a fair contract NOW.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Do not miss all of today's epic tale

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Five-ish years ago, @lizthegrey.com told me tech workers needed to organize because the tech giants would automate their jobs, the market would flood with talent and they would lose bargaining power. I thought it was unlikely. Here’s a story about me being wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/t...

an a accessibility anecdote from broadcast of GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK: my hard of hearing disabled dad hasnt been physically able to go to theatre in years but loves it. he was overjoyed to experience an art form he loves today with captions enabled on TV. @cnn.com

It's official: the ballots have been counted and we have officially been recognized as the Washington Post Tech Guild by the NLRB! In a 171-38 BLOWOUT vote, we voiced loudly that our union is important to us. That's 81%!

Here's the key part of the complex order, which, in short, puts paragraph three of the district court injunction back in full effect: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... And, second, paragraph 3 from this injunction from Judge Amy Berman Jackson: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: The D.C. Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, bars the CFPB from terminations pending appellate review of a district court injunction. Judge Pillard (Obama) and Katsas (Trump) take the action over the disset of Judge Rao (Trump).

The House floor fight over the discharge petition (used to block the GOP's move to kill proxy voting for lawmakers who are new parents) nuked these planned votes as well. So the CFPB overdraft and payments rules survive ... for now ...

I love it when judicial opinions open with epigraphs. Usually a solid signal of 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ ahead Judge Berman's 112-page ruling granting a preliminary injunction to prevent the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from being "dissolved and dismantled" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The lawsuit blocking attempts to shut down the CFPB included as a plaintiff a terminally ill Lutheran pastor. In legal filings, she said her dying wish was to resolve her student loan debt (which the bureau was helping with) so her family would not be burdened by it. She died this month.

Also, this is my peak professional achievement! All hail @christinezimmer.bsky.social 🙌

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to defrauded consumers over the past 13 years. Now it's seeking to give money ($105,000) back to mortgage lenders instead. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/b...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Folks from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s staff union @nteu335.bsky.social are rallying this morning outside the Washington courthouse where a judge will in an hour have a hearing on the injunction being sought to halt the agency’s dismantling

More CFPB news: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's employees have been told that the bureau's Washington HQ lease is cancelled and the agency has 30 days to vacate the building www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau missed two deadlines and then dropped its case against an online lender over deceptive fees. 1st case to be dropped since Vought took over. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

After one of the weirdest court sessions I've ever heard, the DOJ's lawyer agreed with the lawyer representing the consumer bureau's staff union and other parties to FREEZE data purges and staff cuts for a few weeks www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/u...

Mark Paoletta, pictured in this painting that hangs in Harlan Crow's Adirondack compound, is now the chief legal officer at the CFPB. Staff have been told to alert him and get approval in writing "before performing any work task."

It has been a very strange weekend for CFPB employees www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/b...

CFPB employees were just told the HQ will be closed all week. "Employees and contractors are to work remotely unless instructed otherwise from our Acting Director or his designee,” the email notice says.

Russell Vought just told CFPB to shut down @rmac.bsky.social & @stacycowley.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

And still director now 👀 Biden ousted Trump's CFPB director on day 1. The transition team ... does not seem to have actually planned their transition of the financial regulators.

Instead of doing the right thing by its @theathletic.bsky.social workers, @nytimes.com management is continuing the charade of pretending it operates separate newsrooms to keep a two-tiered system that disenfranchises Athletic workers.

NYT has a policy forbidding staff from publicly criticizing NYT's coverage, which is often interpreted to also ban amplifying such criticism. That is factual statement #1. I am going to post 2 more. 2: @billiejsweeney.bsky.social is the subject of an article posted today at www.assignedmedia.org

BREAKING NEWS: Today, editorial workers from @theathletic.bsky.social announced that they are organizing with us and have asked @nytimes.com to recognize them as part of the Times Guild. Read more here: www.nyguild.org/post/athleti...

Data the solitary dog is out on the Times Tech Guild picket line ❤️

NYT tech workers are on strike for a fair contract. We are asking you to #BreakYourStreak on NYT games in solidarity. You can also support our strike fund to keep us going. www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

The New York Times Company made $2.4 billion in revenue in 2023, and our CEO gave herself a 36% raise, while members of our unit were given around 3% with persistent wage gaps for women and people of color.

we ran this back at circuit breakers and added some extra context and knowledge from john at the nyt tech guild! as always, go forth and agitate your coworkers by showing them the ratio between their CEO’s salary and the median employee at yr publicly traded workplace.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Investigating Financials panel at Circuit Breakers! Here's the slide deck bit.ly/3zXJlIs

Signs your foraging hobby is getting out of control: My first thought on seeing this alert was “are cicadas tasty?”

a salve to the conspiracism and anger that runs through every online space is that when you look closely at a disaster, you usually see normal, decent people doing the best they can to save lives.

Happy birthday to the Times Tech Guild, who won their election two years ago. But they still don’t have a contract. I and the rest of the NYT Guild stand with them and demand that the company stop delaying and bargain in good faith.
