Over 1,100 New York Times workers are now officially on work stoppage, the first of this scale at the company in 4 decades. It's never an easy decision to refuse to do work you love, but our members are willing to do what it takes to win a better newsroom for all. #GuildStrong!

Today hundreds of our @NYTimesGuild members were denied access to their contract talks. Management refused to bargain if they were present. This is unacceptable. It’s time for @nytimes to stop stalling and start bargaining.

🚨THE NEWSGUILD IS ON STRIKE! 🚨
Hundreds of local journalists across unionized @Gannett newsrooms from the east to west coast are on #GannettWalkout. Weeks after Gannett announced austerity measures like cuts to 401k & buyouts and months after Gannett laid off 3% of staff.

The Times blames our culture of open bargaining -- where all members of a union are welcome to observe bargaining sessions -- for why negotiations have been stalled. Everyone who will be affected by the decisions made at the bargaining table should be privy to those discussions.
A 24-hour strike at The New York Times, a historic demonstration in which more than 1,100 employees are expected to participate, will take effect Thursday at midnight. Here's my full story: cnn.com/2022/12/07/media/new…

Let’s be clear: When companies claim a “poor economic climate” as the reason for mass layoffs (often hastily executed) they never mention the bloated executive salaries or millions spent on stock buybacks. Companies CAN and SHOULD answer to their workers, not their shareholders.

It's one of the most glamorous nights of the year, but behind the red veil of the #MetGala2022 are hundreds of freelancers, assistants, producers working overtime without extra pay, recognition, or job security.
But workers at @CondeNast are demanding more this year:
Tomorrow is a special day, so we thought we’d give you a special edition of THE ISSUES all about (you guessed it!) the Met Gala.

Workers went on strike on company holiday. The @nytimes illegally docked their pay—a direct retaliation against a protected concerted activity.
Bosses LOVE to play by the same tired union-busting playbook. So here's a 101 on how to spot when your boss is breaking the law🧵
🚨UNION BUSTING ALERT🚨: We learned this morning that @wirecutter/@nytimes illegally withheld holiday pay in retaliation for striking. We’re filing an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB to right this wrong immediately.
