Hi 👋 It has been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we’re standing side-by-side with other @nyguild.bsky.social shops to send a clear, simple message: News, not slop. Readers deserve journalism crafted by human hands. Here's how we've been fighting back during collective bargaining 👇

We're at the bargaining table with our new management 🥳 Even after the corporate tumult of the last few years, Sports Illustrated has dedicated writers, editors and producers (incl. some incredible people who have been here for decades!), and securing the best possible future is so important to us

The SI union is back at the table. Excited to work toward a fair contract with our new operators ✊

We are excited to share that we’ve begun bargaining a contract with our operators at Minute Media. When Minute Media acquired Sports Illustrated, it took on more than just the legacy of the brand. It took on a stable of talented and hard-working employees as well. (1/3) 🧵

We look forward to discussing the future of SI with our new operators at Minute Media

To ABG, Arena Group, and any future publisher of Sports Illustrated: We, the members of the Sports Illustrated Union, make this storied publication what it is. No matter what the future holds, we must be a part of it. #WeAreSI

Sports Illustrated does not exist without us

Our contract contains hard-won protections against business-side meddling in editorial. This report is unacceptable and we are considering all our options. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/...

🚨 We have taken legal action against The Arena Group in the wake of the company’s union-busting and layoffs. Read our full release with @nyguild.bsky.social here: www.nyguild.org/post/breakin...
