We’re committed to keeping NYC’s entertainment industry strong. 🎬 Yesterday, the WGAE joined @sagaftra.org, other members of the Film and TV Union Coalition and @nyclabor.bsky.social to discuss the future of entertainment in NYC with Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, @juliesulabor.bsky.social.

Executives at The Washington Post announced yesterday that they were eliminating hundreds of union jobs. Today, America’s unions rallied with @postguild.bsky.social to #SaveThePost!

Our @hearstunion.bsky.social contract expired, but our demand for Hearst Magazines management hasn’t: FAIR CONTRACT NOW!

Thank you Public Advocate Jumaane Williams for joining us in demanding a fair contract for our @hearstunion.bsky.social members 💪

Our current Hearst Union contract expired 1/31, and after more than a month of bargaining and a strike pledge signed by 85% of our bargaining unit, we’re still fighting for basic respect & fair compensation. Send a letter to help us demand a fair contract now: actionnetwork.org/letters/fair...!

It’s our final day at the bargaining table! Here are more words from our members on why they signed the strike pledge. These quotes continue to underscore why we’re working so hard for the contract that we deserve. Time is running out, last chance for Hearst to show up today with fair proposals! ✊

Vox Media workers are facing tough times after recent layoffs, especially in a challenging job market. If you’re able to donate and/or share this campaign to help support our laid-off colleagues, it’d be greatly appreciated. Thanks y’all!! gofund.me/cf03c6e21

Kennedy Center workers are a vital part of bringing the performing arts to life in the nation's capital. We stand with @kcunions.bsky.social!

Hundreds of our @hearstunion.bsky.social members stood together today by walking out in support of a fair contact. NYC, LA, Birmingham, Ann Arbor and Easton all have one demand: FAIR CONTRACT NOW! Thank you to @jumaane.bsky.social @nyclabor.bsky.social and @afm-union.bsky.social for joining us!

"Last week, the WGAE announced that 85% of the Hearst Magazines Union bargaining unit signed a strike pledge. The union also said more than 2,200 union members and supporters sent letters to Hearst management urging the company to reach an agreement before the contract expiration."

February is Black History Month. Black writers have shaped our industry by showing the full complexity of life: exposing injustice, demanding change and celebrating the joy and resilience of our communities on screens, in newsrooms and beyond. 📝

Solidarity with our @hearstunion.bsky.social members! We shouldn’t have to bargain past contract expiration to win basic respect and reasonable increases.

Today marks one year until our current contract expires. While we will miss the days of The Onion being systematically dismantled and stripped for parts by private equity, we are nonetheless excited to bargain with new management.

So far, Hearst management has proposed lower raises than members received in their last contract, increased in-office expectations, and offered ZERO protections against AI. Send a letter to mgmt demanding they negotiate in good faith BEFORE 1/31 contract expiration:

A well-earned congratulations to our @huffpostunion.bsky.social members on reaching a hard fought tentative agreement! 🎉 We’ll share details following ratification ✊

Our contract expires TOMORROW. While 85% of members signed pledging their willingness to strike, we accepted 3 additional dates at the bargaining table to give Hearst ONE last chance to negotiate fairly. ⏰

Our friends at the Sesame Workers Union invite you to join Monday’s online rally to learn more about their union, how forming a union has helped to embody the mission of their work, and how you can support the fight to win a fair contract. RSVP: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
