I stand with
@newyorkerunion
workers walking out today and fighting for a first union contract. The New Yorker should sit down with its workers and negotiate a fair contract in good faith.
BIG NEWS! With over 80% support, today we requested voluntary recognition of our newest
@nyguild
unit, the New York Daily News
@nydnunion

We call on
@tribpub
to swiftly recognize our union.
Nearly 80% of the editorial and production staff of Condรฉ Nast and Condรฉ Nast Entertainment have joined

We call on management to voluntarily recognize
@nyguild
without delay.
Please share widely!
Not only are employers squeezing every ounce of labor out of us as we work from home, they're monitoring our every movement as they do so. This is horrifying, and in a sane, moral society, would be illegal.
Organize your workplace now.
Really impressed with the discipline of our three committees who were able to bargain straight through โzoom dickโ today with a poker face and a determination of steel to secure just cause.
Over 12,000 tons of explosives have been dropped on Gaza since October 7th, which is equivalent to the explosive force of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in Japan in 1945.
Labor movement folks! People of conscience! If you are OUTRAGED at the genocide unfolding before our eyes and want to ORGANIZE with your coworkers to DO something about it join us tonight at 7:30ET
Register here:
Conde Nast just eliminated the use of NDA's connected to harassment and discrimination claims ACROSS THE ENTIRE COMPANY, after
@nyguild
members fought for it in negotiations. This is a huge win for workers, and the entire media industry.
Thanks for the love
@TeenVogue
!
It's an honor to be an organizer, and fight like hell for working people. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Now get out there and organize your workplaces!
HUGE NEWS! ๐ฅ
Despite
@nytimes
best attempts to carve up our bargaining unit and diminish our power, we won!
@NYTGuildTech
is one step closer to officially becoming the largest tech bargaining unit in the country.
Ballots go out on February 24th!
Scoop: Around 566 New York Times tech workers will get a unionization vote starting this month, an NLRB regional director ruled, despite the company's efforts to shrink the bargaining unit
@NYTGuildTech
@nyguild
@CWAUnion
Subcontracting and misclassification is rampant across media (as it is in so many industries). The only way to address it is to ORGANIZE. We did just that
@newyorkerunion
.
As
@nattythejourno
said, โprestige doesnโt pay the bills -- money does.โ
New York Times management has an absolute meltdown every time our members pack the room to observe bargaining. They are allergic to transparency.
Which is why we demand more of it.
Today, 250+ Guild members signed up to attend todayโs contract negotiation session to observe bargaining over wages, healthcare, return to office and more. The companyโs response: they refused to show & canceled the meeting.
Some of the most "progressive" unions in the country are completely unwilling to denounce the most violent gangs in the United States: POLICE UNIONS.
We aren't going to wait any longer.
The
@AFLCIO
needs to disaffiliate from the International Union of Police Associations and all other cop organizations. Itโs long overdue, and cop โunionsโ have no place in a labor movement whose leaders and rank-and-file workers are fighting for justice, equity, and progress.
THIS is the labor movement we so desperately need.
A labor movement that recognizes we are part of an international working class.
That we have an obligation to stand on the side of the oppressed.
Bravo to
@ShawnFainUAW
and every member who fought for this
I am proud that the UAW International Union is calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the

@NYCMayor
. A mayor who has bent over backwards to grovel at their feet for years.
And they still spit in his face.
Mayor DeBlasio, the members of the NYPD are declaring war on you! We do not respect you, DO NOT visit us in hospitals. You sold the NYPD to the vile creatures, the 1% who hate cops but vote for you. NYPD cops have been assassinated because of you. This isnโt over, Game on!
Take note NYC! This is how you hold your elected officials accountable.
Goes for every phony

@BuzzFeedNews
is engaged in union avoidance, plain and simple. Their hostility to this process has been palpable every step of the way, despite initial statements made by management.
Itโs time to recognize our union. Weโre running out of patience.
We came to the table today ready to meet with BuzzFeed execs about finally recognizing our union. Five minutes after the meeting was scheduled to start, they told us they werenโt going to show up.
Street vendors harassed, ticketed and criminalized. Fresh food thrown out in the middle of a crisis. Let this video be shared around the world for a window into how โprogressiveโ our city is.

@NYCMayor
beyond wrong
"In 2019, the taxpayer bill for police is about $6 billion. That includes about 36,000 uniformed cops, the most of any police department. Imagine what those billions could accomplish for mental health, crumbling infrastructure, homelessness or housing."
NBCUniversal had $9.6 BILLION in revenue last quarter.
Yet the've illegally stolen wages from our members, continue to violate violate federal labor law on multiple counts, and refuse to agree to the most basic workplace protections at the table.
Our members have had ENOUGH.
I donโt give a shit about this half-conscious geriatric lapdog for Israel,
@JoeBiden
. We know his routine well.
But the moans/groans of the โunion membersโ and โdemocratsโ shouting down this woman, my lord.
1) Our union secured *20 weeks* of fully-paid parental leave โ up from a previous 8 weeks โ and 26 weeks of job protection for the birth, adoption, foster or other placement of a child.
No job security, no peace! Our members held the line, demonstrated incredible discipline, and beat back management's attack.
The era of at-will employment at the New Yorker is over.

Rather than breaking from a rather deplorable track record on global worker solidarity,
@AFLCIO
leadership is once again doubling down, attempting to silence members who stand with the Palestinian people and against Israeli apartheid.
Not on our watch.
WE DID IT! Condรฉ Union has won our card count and we are officially recognized as a union! The era of โprestige paying the billsโ is over. ๐งต1/7
Shout out to all the grassroots activists who forced these legal orgs to finally do the right thing and take up the issue of gang policing when most wouldnt touch it with a ten foot poll

Welcome to the union!
After a deplorable anti-union campaign,
@law360union
voted overwhelmingly to unionize their newsroom two years ago. Last night, they overwhelmingly authorized a strike. They are committed to the fight, and ready to do whatever it takes to secure the contract they deserve โ๐ฝ
We are so excited to welcome the editorial staff of the
@NewYorker
to the
@nyguild
! We are calling on management to respect the overwhelming majority of the staff (nearly 90%!) who have signed on to the effort and swiftly recognize our union.
Now would be a really great time for some U.S. journalists to speak up, after years of silence and complicity. The bare fucking minimum in an profession obsessed with โobjectivityโ.
Itโs been quite a day, but Iโve never been prouder of
@mic_union
in the face of such blatantly callous and pathetic ownership. This fight is only beginning.
Our statement on todayโs layoffs and the latest revelation that
@bustle
plans to โrebuildโ our newsroom. Please read and share. More to come. This fight isnโt over.
The โprogressiveโ
@NewYorker
has not only refused to agree to a just cause provision in our contract, but has now thrown a tantrum at the table and walked away, refusing to bargain in good faith.
Truly shameful.
Our bargaining committee was ready to meet with
@newyorker

@condenast
management at 9:30 A.M. today, prepared to address just cause. We were 37 strong, with Guild members from other units standing with us in solidarity, in keeping with our lawful rights as a union.

How many cops does it take to arrest one low wage delivery worker? At least eight. 4 white shirts.
Imagine what we could do with those salaries.
