🚨WE WON! 🥳‼️
We have a tentative agreement on a contract that will give our members more money and job protections and resolve our ULP.
Our strike is over - we’re going back to work tomorrow!🎉

Last week, 172 of us emailed

management explaining why we need job security, pay equity, metrics reform, and other proposals our union made. Two days later, Insider's counsel told us they didn't read our emails. So today we made sure they can read them.

It's official: THE INSIDER UNION IS ON STRIKE.
Management failed to agree on a fair contract that settles our healthcare ULP and pays us what we're worth. Starting now, over 250 Insider employees are on indefinite strike.

When our union proposed economic policies including higher salary floors, overtime, guaranteed raises and PTO, Insider's representatives told us these asks were "pie in the sky rainbows." As our 172 emails made clear, these protections are very serious to us.

One of the basic tenets of any strong union contract is just cause without exceptions. Today, members of the Insider Union are taking to Slack to tell management why we deserve just cause job protections, and why we won’t accept anything less.

Just cause was one of our first, most fundamental demands. Right now, Insider management can fire anybody at any time for any reason. Our proposal would provide us with critical job protection, but management wants to add an exception clause that gives them unchecked discretion.
