Guardian claims its journalism “holds the powerful to account and gives a voice to the marginalised”.

Freelancers say it is time Guardian walked the talk by showing them some respect and sitting down with the marginalised section of the media workforce.

Join us today to make it clear to Guardian management that they need to give their contributors a seat at the table.

I am proud to work at the ABC and constantly inspired by the tenacity and dedication of my colleagues, but far too many are being shortchanged by unstable conditions and unfair pay.
I stand @withmeaa in calling on management to secure a deal that values ABC staff #DontDiscountABC

[Peter McCutcheon @P_McCutch]

Fair wages and conditions at the ABC means greater capacity for strong public interest journalism. @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

Everyone benefits from an ABC where fairly-paid and well-treated staff thrive. We aren’t there, but we can get there @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

[Michael Janda @mikejanda]

To ABC management:
We're postponing our stop work today, but don't think that we're going away. It's taken 9 months for you to get real, now let's bargain and seal a fair deal. Real careers are the key, for staff and the future of Aunty. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

I love my job at the ABC and living in regional Qld, where I want to stay and raise my kids.
But without sustainable careers, ABC can’t provide the essential service our regional communities deserve. @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC 1/3

I’ve been fighting for years to be paid at the level I’m working at. I’m now on a Band 4 contract and paid more. That will end soon. My pay will drop but the duties I perform and the level I work at will remain the same.
We need genuine progression.

Our ABC matters. Without sustainable careers, it can’t provide the essential service that the public deserves. I’m standing @withmeaa to win a fair deal. #DontDiscountABC

As someone who writes a fair bit about gender eqaulity and equal pay, I keep hope that one day the pay gap won't exist. The headlines will read: "Gender pay gap eradicated". I’m standing @withmeaa to win a fair deal. #DontDiscountABC

It is time for QLD to catch up. Press Freedom is everyone's business. Let's get signing and sharing

[MEAA @withMEAA]

Queensland is the only state without shield laws to protect journalists from revealing their sources. Sign the petition to the Attorney-General. via @withMEAA #MEAAmedia #RightToKnow #pressfreedom @YvetteDAth https://t.co/wDEa9kONIB

"The fact it has happened at the multicultural broadcaster has shone a light on just how systemic this is." NITV and Rachael Hocking stand with victims of racism in the media.

#Breaking: ABC staff overwhelmingly reject management's offer of a 1.7% pay increase by a vote of 2-1. We will now restart negotiations with management for a fair deal for our members. #MEAAmedia
