“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...

You can support us by telling @propublica.org management that you will honor our digital picket line once we call a strike: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I took a closer look at the ProPublica union’s vote to strike, including their demand for protection from AI-related layoffs. The vote marks the first time a major U.S. newsroom has authorized a strike, at least in part, over AI protections. www.niemanlab.org/2026/03/prop...

Today, we wrote to @propublica.org’s board of directors to inform them that our unit overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike and urge them to instruct management to agree to a fair contract now. Read our letter here: www.propublicaguild.org/updates/to-t...

NEW: 92% of unionized staff @propublica.org voted to authorize a strike if management does not agree to a fair contract that includes guardrails around the use of AI. ✊ You can stand with @propublicaguild.org by donating to their strike fund! newsguild.org/unionized-st...

Yesterday, 92% of us voted YES (w/ 99% participation) to authorize a strike if @propublica.org management refuses to compromise on core issues. We need a fair contract that will protect the in-depth investigative reporting that our readers expect. Support us: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

As a @propublica.org alum, I urge its leadership to talk seriously with staffers about guardrails around the use of AI in the newsroom. This seems like a solvable issue. Solidarity with my former colleagues @propublicaguild.org

1/ Today, we overwhelmingly voted to authorize a STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with @propublica.org.

“We need guardrails against AI right now.” Our unit is ready to strike as we fight for a fair contract that includes job security, AI protections and fair wages. To help our members make ends meet, donate to our strike fund: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr... Video credit: Ernie Zahn

We want management to come to the table and finally give us a fair contract that lets @propublica.org workers keep doing good journalism! Give us just cause like our peers! bsky.app/profile/prop...

🪧 Out in Austin with my @propublicaguild.org, Texas Tribune guild and Austin American Statesman guild colleagues in our fight for fair contracts. 🪧

1/ Our members are practicing picketing @propublica.org offices in multiple cities right now to demand job security protections and guardrails around AI. We are ready to do what it takes to get a fair contract.

Investigative journalism with a moral force is a public service that we take seriously, and we need a strong contract to do our jobs effectively. That’s why we are ready to strike! Our GoFundMe will help offset the cost of missed pay: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

Our members joined the #SaveThePost rally in D.C. today to protest the mass layoffs at the Washington Post. We stand in solidarity with @postguild.bsky.social. Support laid off workers: www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t... + www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo... ✊

2/ Investigative journalism with a moral force is a public service that we take seriously, and we need a strong contract to do our jobs effectively. We’re fighting for job security, a fair disciplinary process, wages that reflect the value of our work and clear guardrails around AI.

Join us Thursday for a rally to #SaveThePost!! The rally will run from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at 1301 K St. NW!! Bring friends! Bring gloves! Bring a love of journalism!

I love this organization and hope management can come to the table with a real willingness to reach a deal. Like all of us at ProPublica, I would much rather be focused on doing the journalism than negotiating our first contract.

We are so proud of our @propublicaguild.org members -- 80% of the unit has signed onto a pledge to do whatever it takes -- including going on strike - to win a fair contract. @propublica.org it's time to do the right thing and agree to a fair contract NOW!

I’m disappointed that ProPublica management has forced its workers into this position. We are asking for basic job protections, AI guardrails to protect our great journalism and journalists, and to make sure our wages can keep up with inflation. Support us by following @propublicaguild.org

1/ READY TO STRIKE: More than 80% of our members signed a pledge saying we are prepared to strike unless @propublica.org agrees to a fair contract. www.propublicaguild.org/updates/the-...

We stand in solidarity with our unionized colleagues of @postguild.bsky.social as they call on Jeff Bezos and @washingtonpost.com management to halt the cuts that would drain their newsroom. #savethepost bsky.app/profile/post...

1/ We are entering year 3 of bargaining for a fair contract that protects both the workers who produce our award-winning, high-impact journalism as well as the quality of that work. We are also entering year 3 of @propublica.org management fighting against a fair contract. tinyurl.com/43znke28

2/ Our readers deserve clear labeling on AI content, and we deserve job security. Sign our petition for a fair contract and we’ll keep you updated on our campaign: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

5/ Here's management's response to our proposal that the company shall follow progressive discipline. It says management reserves the right to combine or skips steps.

4/ Here's management's response to our proposal that a performance plan should have a set number of working days — a total strikethrough.

3/ Here's management's response to our proposal that our members should have guild representation in disciplinary meetings — a total strikethrough.

2/ Here's management's response to our proposal that PIPs must have clear, reasonable and objective criteria — a total strikethrough.

1/ After two years of bargaining, @propublica.org management has resisted our proposals to bring transparency and accountability to our disciplinary process. You can support our union by sharing this post and signing our petition for a fair contract! actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

America’s unions celebrate the long-awaited release of SMART union member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Welcome home, brother.

EXTRA! EXTRA! The Columbus Dispatch is unionizing! cwalocals.org/columbusdisp...

NEW: The overwhelming majority of workers at The Columbus Dispatch and Newark Advocate have announced the formation of the Dispatch News Guild - @dispatchnewsguild.bsky.social It’s the first time in the histories of both newspapers that journalists have unionized. 🖋️Sign their petition below!

Today, we had an all-day bargaining session with @propublica.org management. Unfortunately, they did not bring a counter proposal on AI or agree to any of the guardrails we've proposed.

Today, we join unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country as they stand shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality, and accuracy of our journalism.

At CalMatters/The Markup union, we're proud of the AI article we ratified in our contract this year. It ensures that no union employee will be laid off because of AI, guarantees that humans are writing the news you read, and keeps our content from being used to train AI without our consent. 1/2
