When you die, would you rather have an open-casket funeral for anyone to look at your body or an open-access funeral for anyone to look at your data -- Google searches, Reddit history, text messages, and beyond? If that question gives you pause, read this. https://t.co/qUDH2fZwYW

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.
