With all due respect, the real 2021 Sportspeople of the Year are the editorial staff of SI, who showed grit, determination and perseverance working this year without a contract. We deserve a fair deal, now.
We've been bargaining our contract for almost 2 years, but BuzzFeed won't budge on critical issues like wages — all while preparing to go public and make executives even richer.
So TODAY, we're walking out to send a reminder that there's no BuzzFeed News without us. #BFNWalksOut
It's Cyber Monday and we're still on strike! The best way to support us is to continue to avoid visiting and shopping @wirecutter through the end of the day. Thank you to everyone who has boycotted, donated, and spread the message. Your support has meant the world to us!
Congratulations to the members of the @BostonNewsGuild for reaching a new contract agreement that provides better wages and worker protections. It wasn't an easy fight, but when workers fight, workers win.

@John_W_Henry@Linda_Pizzuti@hgsuuaw And lo, on the 1,053rd day, we had a contract! Thanks to all who followed along and supported the @BostonNewsGuild in this way-too-long negotiation. Guess I'll go back to tweeting cat pictures and longform journalism. https://t.co/oYnujrLk3S
This contract would not have been possible without the time and effort of so many of our members. Through their words and actions (both internally and externally) over the last 3 years, we have reached an agreement that will help create a better, stronger Boston Globe.

This new agreement will provide benefits and essential protections for our 300+ members, allowing them to continue producing the award-winning journalism the Boston Globe is known for.
After three long years, we have ratified a contract that delivers what we've been fighting for —workplace protections and local journalism. Thank you to our dedicated community who have stood by us throughout this battle! ✊ https://t.co/U9KJDSxrtx
"This legislation will support local news journalists pure and simple. Not only will it help support the journalists currently employed, but I expect it to boost hiring across the country." - NewsGuild President Jon Schleuss

Please be sure to check your kid’s Halloween candy. Just found proof that as union membership declines income inequality increases inside a Laffy Taffy. #Striketober
Outsourcing threatens the work of local reporters who deliver trustworthy, award-winning journalism for the Globe. Employees at the Globe deserve a contract that secures workplace protection and rights. #keepnewslocal
@John_W_Henry@Linda_Pizzuti@BostonNewsGuild ...if someone came to you + said "so that thing you're selling for $10? I'll give you this broken pencil for it" you'd never say "Yes pls, I'll take your horrible offer and it's my fault for not saying yes sooner."
You can keep your broken pencil, Henrys. Make us a fair offer!
