Solidarity with @nujofficial.bsky.social members on strike at The Lancet (@thelancet.com), a 200+ year-old medical journal. They deserve fair pay now! ✊🇬🇧

🙋

1. Journalism is human-led. 2. AI can’t take our jobs. 3. Workers should be able to choose whether they use AI tools in their work. These principles are vital to a future in which our journalism continues to be accurate, trustworthy, and engaging. (2/7)

Our union is currently negotiating for sensible AI protections in our workplace. We believe in three basic principles when it comes to artificial intelligence in our newsroom: (1/7)

At bargaining on Sept. 9, management’s proposal was a massive shift from fair Just Cause. Marshall Project management’s continued distaste for transparency & accountability in discipline is shocking for an organization that reports on the importance of the right to due process. Read more ⬇️

New Gallup polling finds that 71% of Americans approve of labor unions and 56 million Americans would join a union tomrorow if they could. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power. If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Happy Labor Day from The Marshall Project Guild, to our members fighting for a fair contract and to everyone moving the labor movement forward through action and solidarity!

Weekends. Workplace safety protections. Child labor laws. Retirement security. Paid time off. These are things we enjoy today because workers fought for them and won. This Labor Day, let's get inspired and keep fighting for better for working people ✊

Some updates from the bargaining table! Thanks to the continued action of our workers, we’ve achieved agreements in bargaining while maintaining focus on our fight for Just Cause and quality, affordable healthcare. We also continued to press on questions about healthcare costs. Read more ⬇️

Wearing @postguild.bsky.social red today. I was able to challenge my @washingtonpost.com firing — and win reinstatement plus back pay — all thanks to being a part of the @wbng.org Guild. Binding Arbitration is a part of our contract. This is why unions matter!!!

This Day in Labor History: August 25, 1935. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters signed its first contract with the Pullman Car Company, breaking that company’s long anti-union history and providing a breakthrough for Black workers and laying the groundwork for a generation of Black organizing!!

VICTORY: The Guild @postguild.bsky.social wins reinstatement for @washingtonpost.com columnist @karenattiah.bsky.social in wrongful termination arbitration, underscoring the protections collective bargaining agreements provide workers against retaliatory discipline ✊ wbng.org/news/karen-a...

A statement from the HuffPost Union @wgaeast.bsky.social on today's layoffs.

Just Cause is the single most important issue to the majority of our unit — it's what protects us from retaliation and arbitrary termination, and empowers us to advocate for a better workplace. Here's why fair Just Cause matters so much to us, and what we're doing to fight for it 👇

The Marshall Project has publicly touted its commitment to diversity for years, something that influenced many of our members in our choice to join the organization. On 8/6, we pushed management to defend their commitment to DEI — and to bargain with us over drastic changes to our healthcare plans.

🚨 WE HAVE A DEAL! After three years, in a major step forward for our members, we have ratified our first contract with @propublica.org’s management. We deeply appreciate everyone who supported us along the way. Here are some of our big wins👇

We put down our counterproposal for fair Just Cause this week with the majority of our unit at the table to support it — but not our CEO, who declined to attend bargaining. Read our full bargaining update for more, including the shocking healthcare increases we're being asked to shoulder:

“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.
