Yesterday’s rally at The Post drew a huge crowd to fight for journalism and to #SaveThePost. These layoffs are shameful, and we are all worse off because of them. Still, we will continue to fight for journalism and for a free press.

NOT FAIR, NOT RIGHT: @Reuters management wants our members to accept a measly annual wage increase of only 0.5%. Watch this new video of our members who are speaking out! #WeareReuters

@GovKathyHochul With the possibility of the police ultimately controlling the messaging and speed of transmissions, it clearly presents a disservice to the public. We strongly urge @GovKathyHochul to sign this bill to protect New Yorkers and support a free press.

The “Keep Police Radio Public Act” would allow journalists to maintain real-time access to radio transmissions in the state. As of Wednesday, @GovKathyHochul has not signed the act and time is running out....

🧵Every day our members rely on access to police radio transmissions to respond quickly to shootings, fires, buildings collapses, natural disasters and other major emergencies so that they can quickly report on and share vital safety information to the public….

Our @zdcreatorsguild knows this well! Their contract includes some of the strongest AI protection language out there
Workers CAN regulate AI with strong contract language. Full stop. Unionized journalists just proved this at POLITICO. @penguild

We know what our rights are. @Reuters management is breaking federal labor law to hold contract bargaining hostage in an effort to shut all of us out of the process. We won't stop fighting for our rights.
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE?: We were once again ready to bargain today and @Reuters management again refused to come. Today was the third date that management agreed to – and then refused to come....

WE FIXED IT: Obviously our successful rally had an effect on @NYDailyNews management, who felt compelled to “write” an op-ed. Unfortunately it’s full of mischaracterizations and missing key facts. As journalists we couldn’t let that slide, so we got out our red pens…

Here's the deal. We're not going to remain silent while our management blunders through poorly conceived AI experiments. We are proud journalists and we'll protect ourselves. https://t.co/GVpFCP4FKK

The policy was announced after an executive accused the newsroom of bias in its Trump administration coverage.

We are collectively calling on Times management to do the right thing and recognize Athletic staff as part of our union. We are stronger together, and we will stand together in this fight.

Today, we all sent a clear message to Times management: Sports jobs are Times Guild jobs, and we will not stand for a two-tier system of employment at The Times. Athletic staff does Times Guild work, and they deserve Times Guild benefits.

WE HAVE EXCITING NEWS! Today, workers from @TheAthletic sent a letter to Times management calling on them to recognize Athletic editorial workers as members of the Times Guild. We are thrilled to have them in our union.

And it wouldn’t be a real union rally without some… MUSIC!! We’ve got a full brass section, @nytimes. Have you got our fair contract yet?
TIME IS RUNNING OUT, @nytimes!! We’re at Grand Army Plaza today, Scabby in tow, to warn NYC that their hometown paper is at risk of shutting down — unless we get the contract we deserve! 🔥✊🔥

Remember folks: overpaid CEO’s don’t “commute into the office every day” but get paid 1000x more than the people that actually DO. Stay strong, fellow workers! Solidarity! @nyguild @NYTGuildTech @CentralLaborNYC @nytimes @NYCLaborVotes

We STILL stand with our @NYTGuildTech siblings in their fight for a contract with just cause protections, fair/equitable wages and the right to maintain the remote work standards they've always had.
Yesterday, we sent this letter to management, signed by nearly 750 @NYTimesGuild members. We stand together in support of our @NYTGuildTech colleagues. We know how important their work is to the mission of @nytimes and they deserve a fair contract.
