The workers of HuffPost Canada and HuffPost Quebec. Still fighting for fair severance. Members of @cwacanada1. ✊🇨🇦

[HuffPost Canada Union @HuffpostCAUnion]

It's been more than four weeks since our entire newsroom was laid off by Buzzfeed.

We are still fighting for fair severance. Today we are calling on Buzzfeed to honour the contributions of our contract workers and long-service employees. (THREAD)

In recent weeks we have shared these concerns internally with @peretti and @BuzzFeed to no response.

We are calling on them to give these workers fair and equitable severance.

So proud to be part of a union that supports contract workers in their fight for equal treatment, dignity and respect. As @AlphabetWorkers and @HuffpostCAUnion have shown, companies like Google and BuzzFeed should still be held accountable when they contract out work.

“HuffPost contractors deserve the same status & benefits as perm. employees. They’ve made invaluable contributions to the brand & must be awarded the same securities as everyone. Not to do so is cruel & arbitrary. It’s time to take a stand against these unfair labour practices.”

[BuzzFeed Canada Union ✊🇨🇦 @bfcaunion]

Solidarity with the HuffPost Canada Union. Fair severance for contract workers and long-term employees now. ✊

[CWA Canada AM @CWA_Canada_AM]

Contract workers are tired of being treated like second class citizens. @HuffpostCAUnion is drawing a line in the sand and demanding that @BuzzFeed do the right thing.

Fair severance for ALL!

This is absolutely outrageous. Solidarity with the @HuffpostCAUnion in their very basic ask for fair severance payments.

[HuffPost Union @HuffPostUnion]

Solidarity with our Canadian colleagues, whose newsroom was entirely gutted in our recent round of layoffs. All of its employees deserve fair severance.

[CWA Canada @cwacanada1]

After acquiring HuffPost Canada and abruptly closing the digital media outlet, BuzzFeed is not treating all laid-off employees fairly in terms of severance pay. https://t.co/PuhUl9xOWc

[HuffPost Canada Union @HuffpostCAUnion]

Fair treatment of contract workers in media is an issue that extends beyond just the former HuffPost Canada newsroom.

Things have to change. We are calling on Buzzfeed to honour the valued work of these members to our newsroom.

The HuffPost Canada Union demands @BuzzFeed:

-Provides both contractors with severance;
-Offers compensation to long-tenured employees that reflects their years of service;
-Not further delay the negotiation process on these issues.
