“One of the things that I really care about is making sure that we have transparent pay scales,” says reporter Cassandra Jaramillo, “While I'm very grateful for what I'm able to earn as a reporter, it's not the same story for some of my colleagues in different departments.”

Congrats to @newsguild.org members at the National Abortion Hotline who ratified a strong new contract with AI protections and more! This win comes after members initiated a 24-hour unfair labor practice strike back in May. cwa-union.org/news/cwa-hot...

Bluesky, we'd like to introduce ourselves. The staff of Static Media would like to announce that we have formed a union with @wgaeast.bsky.social. Much like Jalopnik has already unionized and been recognized, we would like to request a voluntary recognition for all the Static Media sites.

“It's time for management to come to the table with some real movement so we can close out this contract and get back to focusing on that work that we love doing,” says interactive story designer Anna Donlan. We need management to agree to a reasonable wage proposal now.

Shoutout to the 4,000 nurses who went on the LARGEST strike in MA history. Shame on Brigham and Women's Hospital for retaliating with a four-day lockout. And this is after their employer offered nurses 0% raises to their base salaries when the cost of living in the Boston area is at an all-time high

An update from the bargaining table: on 7/1 we put down two new proposals and two counters, and received one counter from management. Stay tuned for our next bargaining session on 7/27; we're inviting our CEO Katrice Hardy to the table to hear why our contract must include Just Cause protections.

Congrats to lineworkers, gas technicians, and call center workers in Philly who went ON STRIKE this #July4th for the first time in the company’s 145-year history and WON better pay, affordable healthcare, and pensions for recent hires. Collective action works!!

🚨BREAKING🚨 More than 600 workers at Hachette Book Group just voted overwhelmingly to unionize, creating the largest union in trade publishing history! newsguild.org/hachette-boo...

Lisa Riordan Seville, senior video producer at @propublica.org: “We're asking for wages that allow people to take care of their families, pay the rising costs of housing and food ... so they can continue to do the kind of work that wins Pulitzers and holds power to account.”

Dan Phiffer is a software engineer who helps build the ProPublica website: “It's been very frustrating to see such a stark contrast between those efforts to get AI right, in practice, with management's vague and unfettered bargaining position.”

🧵 We are unionized! We are the staff of the San Francisco Public Press, a nonprofit investigative newsroom dedicated to breaking the surface level on deeply rooted issues in the city. We just formed a union and got voluntary recognition from our management!

We formed our union three years ago, but we still don’t have a contract. Our members are now releasing public testimonials to demand a FAIR CONTRACT NOW: www.propublicaguild.org/updates/vide...

Last month, we won a Pulitzer Prize for our compassionate coverage of a deadly school shooting. Today, we helped our friends pack up their desks as the Minnesota Star Tribune lays off 15% of its staff. We’ve launched a fundraiser to help our colleagues figure out what’s next:

“We have disparities across teams, across regions. No one who works at ProPublica — where we say we hire the best — should be living paycheck to paycheck.” This is why we’re fighting for fair wages: www.propublicaguild.org

Graphics editor Lucas Waldron: “I write a lot of code at my job. So I’m the first one who might be replaced by A.I.” We really need strong A.I. protections in our contract:

Minnesota journalists reported on the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign with compassion for our neighbors and a dogged determination to expose the truth. Many of the editors who made that work possible are now losing their jobs. Please consider donating to support them.

We and 4,700 other people recently braved a tornado watch to head to Chicago for LaborNotes, the largest gathering of rank-and-file union organizers in the U.S. Here’s some of what we learned. Thank you @nyguild.bsky.social and thank you @labornotes.bsky.social!

We wish a joyful Juneteenth to all who are celebrating today. We recommit ourselves today and every day to fight for justice and dignity for all.

“USA Today Co. is proposing a 50-cent raise for the next two years despite the inflation rate rising to 4.2% in May. That’s unsustainable.” - Patrick Williams, Akron Beacon Journal reporter Join the fight for sustainable news by signing our petition. tinyurl.com/4u2refc2

We love to see our members at @marshallprojectguild.org building power with others across labor!

Star Tribune Guild members wore our union merch to work today after management's announcement of 15% layoffs across the company, including within the newsroom.

Bad-faith bargaining is bad for business. After we went on strike, a major advertiser halted ad buys in solidarity. We are asking others to do the same until McClatchy Media comes to the table with a fair offer.

Statement from the Star Tribune Guild in response to management’s plans to lay off 15% of staff, including union members in the newsroom:

We will not sit passively as new technology is used to monitor and surveil us without our consent. This is why we have a contract; this is why we fight.

WE WON: Our Conde Nast members who were illegally fired and disciplined after taking part in a “march on the boss” in November have been reinstated as part of a more than $400,000 settlement. More details here nyguild.org/post/conde-w...

OUR FIGHT: We have taken legal action against The Times for using AI programs to surveil and monitor our members. Read The Verge article here: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

TAKING LEGAL ACTION: The @nytguildtech.bsky.social is using AI technology to monitor and surveil the performance of our @nytguildtech.bsky.social members in violation of their collective bargaining agreement. More here... nyguild.org/post/newsgui... ..

Don’t cross the picket line today, Tuesday, May 26! Join us by refusing to click any articles or interacting in any way with our five McClatchy newspapers.

INBOX: Journalists at the five McClatchy newspapers in Washington and Idaho (the Idaho Statesman, Bellingham Herald, Tri-City Herald, Tacoma News Tribune and The Olympian) are calling a one-day strike today over wages and AI protections. That means no clicking on any links to their sites for today.

BREAKING: POLITICO is shutting down AI "tools" at center of landmark arbitration. wbng.org/2026/05/22/p... #NewsNotSlop

Congrats to the Texas Tribune Guild for getting a contract with meaningful AI guardrails and common sense seniority order in layoffs. If TT's management can agree to these very basic things, so can @propublica.org's. Lets go @propublicaguild.org!

Support ProPublica Guild members by telling ProPublica’s Board Chairman Sagan it’s the board’s responsibility to direct management to agree to a fair contract now! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Our CEO recently shared that working remotely allows her to care for her 85-year-old mother. But for our coworker and fellow unit member, Rich, that’s not an option. Despite being the primary caretaker for his father, his remote accommodations have been abruptly rejected. His appeal? Denied.

TAKING ACTION: Today on behalf of the @nytimesguild.bsky.social we filed an unfair labor practice charge against @nytimes.com for violating the federally protected rights of our members.....

We’re in our third year of fighting for a fair contract. After we held a one-day walkout in April, ProPublica’s Board Chairman Paul Sagan said management has “the Board’s full and undivided support.” But is that true? We think board members should speak for themselves… 🧵

Yesterday, we handed out flyers at a @propublica.org panel discussion in Brooklyn. We’re making sure management knows we are not shutting up about a fair contract! Learn more about our fight for a fair contract: www.propublicaguild.org

HUGE WIN ON AI: Our TIME Union has a new contract that includes "no layoffs due to AI" protections, new wage floors and more. Read the details here... nyguild.org/post/newsgui...

We asked @propublica.org's board to agree to a fair contract. Chair Paul Sagan replied that they support management, whose last offer includes weak job security, minimal guardrails on AI & wages that don’t keep up w/ rising costs. We know you stand with us. Tell Mr. Sagan: shorturl.at/MkUbQ

Yesterday, our members chanted and marched through @propublica.org’s NYC office demanding a fair contract now. We delivered a stack of more than 4,000 petition signatures and 300 comments from our supporters to management.

McClatchy Media still refuses to offer journalists livable wages, despite nearly a year of bargaining. Our unions are ready to strike. Our communities deserve newspapers where talented reporters can afford to stay. But we need your help!⬇️

Two weeks ago, we walked out of @propublica.org’s offices for a one-day strike to demand a fair contract. We haven’t gotten ANY proposals from management since then. Tell our bosses that you’ll support us if we have to strike again: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

We joined many of you in welcoming the PG’s new owners. Then celebrations got cut short. Folks in Baltimore were told our staff is getting halved. The CEO was dodgy on the record re: unions. Will you sign our pledge marking the need for robust staff & a union PG? actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...

I took a lunch break with my @marshallprojectguild.org colleagues in support of @propublicaguild.org's strike. No comrades in Durham, so I took my lunch at the house where Pauli Murray grew up. She would support the guild's action! @paulimurraycenter.bsky.social

I genuinely do not understand management's refusal to agree to basic protections, like that they won't replace us with AI. It's baffling. Makes no sense. We're on strike to show management how serious we are about this, and how eager we are to get a contract done!

Our DC members are out in full force! Today we’re striking to demand a fair contract, including layoff protections, AI guardrails, fair pay and a clear disciplinary process. Join us: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

Taking a lunch break with my @marshallprojectguild.org co-workers in support of @propublicaguild.org strike! (This was a bad ham and cheese croissant but I already ate it, oops)
