NYT Tech Guild

I’m proud to be a Guild member because… Yesterday, @nyguild.bsky.social members marched at the New York City Labor Day parade because democracy depends on journalism, and journalism depends on workers!

@newsguild.org President Jon Schleuss: “This is yet again another shameful moment for our country.... The First Amendment includes a free press so that tyrants wouldn’t be allowed to control what the public sees or hears.” More here: newsguild.org/newsguild-co...

Tonight there's a lavish gala celebrating the 175th anniversary of @nytimes.com. Our @nytimesguild.bsky.social members invited themselves -- to let the bosses know it's time for a FAIR CONTRACT NOW.

Yesterday we were able to join in the NYC Labor Day Rally and stand in solidarity with our organizing community. These days can feel uncertain and difficult given the labor environment we’re in, but it’s bolstering to remember that we can handle whatever is thrown our way, and that we’re never alone

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more

This US Labor Day, we're celebrating our NLRB election landslide win✊️ We're proud of this milestone and our strong union. Excited for what's next as we work to make WMF the best workplace it can be across our global workforce. Chaotic Enby's full quote [1], one of 2,000 volunteers who stood with us:

If you're not already reading @long-haul-mag.bsky.social - get in there! Organizing community at its best.

BREAKING: USA Today’s journalists and media workers demand that the media company end its relationship with AI firm Palantir.

THEY WILL NOT BACK DOWN: Today @reuters.com bosses, who are feeling the heat from our Reuters Guild, illegally interrogated our members who flyered in company President Paul Bascobert’s neighborhood. Our members rallied in protest and we filed a ULP. More here… nyguild.org/post/unioniz...

We agree with New York Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger - the work we create at The New York Times is uniquely human, and needs to be protected! That’s why we’re taking legal action against The Times to be more transparent about how AI is being applied so we can protect our members.

Here’s what we’ve won by fighting together: ✅ 8%+ raises—largest in UPTE history ✅ $25/hr minimum wage ✅ Healthcare premium caps ✅ Up to 12 months of parental leave ✅ 30-day notice for remote/hybrid changes 25,000+ workers made this happen. #UnionStrong #UC #ResetUCPriorities

This is how we make a difference in our industry ✊🔥👏

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.

New technology doesn’t mean companies like @nytimes.com can ignore our collective bargaining agreements.

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...

Don’t miss the @nytguildtech.bsky.social case study here: labor.dair-institute.org/case-studies Astronomically proud to have contributed to this effort ✊🏼

Proud to stand with workers always! This morning, I joined my own union, @opeiulocal153.bsky.social, for a rally to celebrate the organizing work of @kickstarterunited.org and to call out Kickstarter's horrible union-busting retaliation against their workers. Solidarity forever! 🥖🌹

Happy International Worker’s Day! Today and every day we stand up for our members and our unionized allies across industries. Tech, journalism, healthcare, service industry? Wherever you're at, we've got your back fighting for better rights and working conditions.

The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism (@thebaltimorebanner.com) has begun its ownership of the @post-gazette.com by cutting at least 40% of staff, and 80% of former strikers. It is sad, vindictive, and does not bode well for what we’ve fought and hoped for, including the success of the PG.

Come work with us !

So proud of our very own Talha Rahman as he advocated for the importance of unionization in tech on Sunday at the @unionnow.org rally in NYC! Grateful for the support of @sanders.senate.gov , @mayor.nyc.gov and excited to keep pushing for better for our members 🔥💪✊

Hello Bluesky. Does anyone like... Unions? #UnionNow act.berniesanders.com/signup/rsvp-...

Yesterday, our members in New York, D.C., Chicago and across the country walked out to demand a fair contract. We deserve job security. We deserve to know AI won’t be used to replace us. We know that @propublica.org can and must do better.

If you care about AI protections, this fight is your fight - our fight 💪👏🔥 standing with you all through this.

We're in solidarity with @propublicaguild.org workers in their fight!

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Eid Mubarak from The Times Tech Guild to you!

This is a mandate. ProPublica workers are ready for a fair contract now.

1/ Today, we overwhelmingly voted to authorize a STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with @propublica.org.

“We need guardrails against AI right now.” Our unit is ready to strike as we fight for a fair contract that includes job security, AI protections and fair wages. To help our members make ends meet, donate to our strike fund: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr... Video credit: Ernie Zahn

ICYMI: Here's a video from just after @propublicaguild.org's practice picket. Last night the unit took a strike authorization vote and 92% voted yes.

Truly awful behavior by @nytimes.com management. We encourage all of you to sign the petition actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Rich Quan worked remotely as a caregiver for 6 years, but is now being told to abandon his 96-year-old father, who is in an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s Disease, for…office culture? This is corporate sadism disguised as policy. SHAME on @nytimes.com 👎
