On Friday, January 9, ICE arrested a member of our union, the Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild, as part of Operation Metro Surge. He has been transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he is awaiting action on his petition for habeas corpus. newsguild.org/guild-member...

What is the current legal landscape for labor? What are the threats on the horizon? Check out the report from ION to see where we go in a post-NLRB world.

The government called on the court to reverse an appeals court ruling that found most of President Donald Trump's tariffs are an illegal use of an emergency powers law.

Today, we sent a letter to @themarshallproject.org‬ leadership expressing concern about their denial of bargaining obligations. Management has repeatedly denied members Weingarten rights, engaged in an illegal layoff, and more — we need your help to demand that management bargain in good faith.

To say that seeing these kinds of concerns coming from journalists at **The Marshall Project** of all places is dispiriting to say the least. But like…especially weird move to violate Weingarten given, uh, the name of the organization? Is one of the justices who joined the Weingarten opinion??

Shortly following these posts, Condé reached out to assert that a closed, last minute meeting last week between HR and a few union officers should have satisfied our members' desire to hear directly from Condé's chief executives.

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition. Please take a moment to read and share our full statement:

President Donald Trump's strategy has been to downplay the uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case as his supporters demand the Justice Department release much-hyped records in the investigation.

At a global town hall, Axel Springer boss Mathias Döpfner delivered a blunt message—A.I. is here, and every employee must use it. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/axel-sprin...

An executive order by President Trump seeking to punish people who work with the International Criminal Court is most likely a violation of the First Amendment, a federal judge found on Friday.

My colleagues and I are rallying at City Hall Park today to demand a fair contract from our private equity bosses. Come join us and show your support for a free and working press in NYC

As our member @josiestratman.bsky.social points out, the official transcript of the mayor's presser today erases all evidence of the beef with @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social Where Josie and @katiehonan.bsky.social yield their time, the transcript just reads "crosstalk."

They built careers at NY’s Hometown Paper. Now, 130 former Daily News journalists have signed a petition, calling for mgmt at the News & execs at predatory hedge fund owner Alden Global Capital to recognize the staff’s value & agree to a fair contract. nycclc.org/news/130-for...

As protests unfold in LA, journalists are reportedly being targeted with rubber bullets and tear gas. The right to report doesn’t disappear in a crisis. That’s when it matters most. ⬇️Here are journalist safety tools from @pressfreedom.bsky.social

Read this important post by @propublicaguild.bsky.social signed by me and many of my colleagues.

I believe in ProPublica’s mission, and in my amazing coworkers who uphold those values every day. I hope that management will agree to our requests for basic union rights, like allowing stewards in performance meetings that could lead to discipline.

On this International Workers Day I am thinking about how we at @propublica.org work on investigative journalism with moral force & holding power to account while, at the same time, management denies basic union rights to staff.

I'm so proud of the work we do @propublica.org every day. And I signed this letter because we deserve a fair union contract with basic rights — like allowing stewards in performance meetings that could lead to discipline, and a standard approach to just cause.

Journalists at @sn-media-guild.bsky.social held a picket to tell @sciencenews.bsky.social that a fair contract isn't rocket science! After 18 months of negotiations, it's time to listen to the workers and give them a fair contract!

Happy holidays - Starbucks baristas are ON STRIKE!! We're going on five days of escalating ULP strikes in response to the company backtracking on our promised path forward, starting today in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle - and many more to come!

BREAKING: Starbucks Workers United is going on strike. Tomorrow unionized Starbucks workers are walking out in multiple key cities. And @sbworkersunited.org's rolling strike will grow in the coming days. 537 stores and 10,000+ workers are in the union and could potentially strike.

My colleagues in @nytguildtech.bsky.social donated what remains of their strike fund to the striking workers in Pittsburgh - a whopping $114K. That’s what solidarity is www.unionprogress.com/2024/12/19/s...

Spent the afternoon posing as a tourist in my favorite city, Philadelphia. This is Macy’s, which used to be Wanamaker’s when I was growing it. I used to love going to this store to see the holiday light show

Now this is solidarity! www.unionprogress.com/2024/12/19/s...

We just keep winning contracts!
