It has been almost 3 months since most of our post-petition colleagues—people who were officially let go after VICE declared bankruptcy on May 15—stopped getting paychecks. Many haven't received a single dollar in the severance they are owed. Here are some of their experiences.

Today, VICE staff were informed that the sale to Fortress et al. is complete. Our @viceunion members call on the new owners to recognize their union contracts we’ve worked hard to secure, and to pay the remaining severance to laid off staff. #WGAstrong

Congratulations to the VICE News Tonight team! Shame on management, who are dampening this celebration by withholding many laid off employees’ severance pay. Shame.

A HUGE congratulations to everyone who worked on VICE News Tonight and its epic 28 Emmy nominations. An equally huge WTF to management, which gutted VNT with mass layoffs months ago and still hasn’t paid the majority their severance.

Today at VICE I was unable to pull a court record, which costs 10 cents, because the company isn't paying bills Meanwhile so many execs, some which led VICE to bankruptcy, make $700-900k, including bonuses at the time VICE laid off much cheaper workers. It's worse than I thought

A network of Christian nationalist groups are behind a slew of bills banning drag across the country. VICE News' @Vegastenold met the leaders of this movement in Idaho and the drag performers who are impacted. Watch more: https://t.co/uQ1KkqLIbG

Inspired and guided by the NRA, Brazil's pro-gun movement has become unstoppable. President Bolsonaro will likely lose the upcoming election, but he’s unleashed a force that will shape the country's politics for yrs to come. W/ the great @leahvarjacques https://t.co/Qi1TNgJItH

Inspired by the NRA, pro-gun enthusiasts have turned into a political juggernaut.

Almost 100k people in #hawaii had their water poisoned by #Navy jet fuel from #redhill in November. We met families with potentially life-long health consequences and dig into the #DOD’s toxic legacy at its bases and host communities.

We spent months investigating the largest privately held nursing home chain in the US. The nursing home industry is a labyrinth of money and secrecy, mostly funded by taxpayers. Our doc pulls back the curtain. Tonight on tv; online in the coming days. Please give it a watch.

Doctors in Bolivia are injecting people with bleach to prevent and treat COVID, and combat the “toxic effects” of vaccines. The country’s government legalized the production and sale of chlorine dioxide last year as an alternative treatment for COVID.

The story of why Bolivian lawmakers legalized the use of chlorine dioxide (e.g. bleach) to treat COVID involves a German charlatan, misinformation on the internet, a political power struggle & even a decades old birth control campaign. Please read/watch:
