[TIME Union @timemagunion]

We are proud to be able to stand together for our colleagues and let all of TIME know the strength of our union.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

During a Q&A many of our members pushed our CEO, Editor-in-Chief, head of legal and HR, and COO on questions around the decisions behind the layoffs, concerns around diversity in our newsroom, the future of our editorial coverage, and more in depth information on our finances.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Today TIME held a company wide meeting for all employees so we had to show up united.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Journalists and the essential work they do should be TIME's priority. We won't stop fighting until we are.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

For months, we have asked management for information about company finances. Management refused time and time again. We won’t stop pushing until we get honest answers.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

We demand management uphold all terms and conditions laid out in our contract and we will fight back on these layoffs in any way we can.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Today, management laid off 15% of our unit members, with additional layoffs in edit and business. We are heartbroken and outraged for our colleagues who lost their jobs.

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

This was such an important win, not only for our shop but for all Guild and union contracts that come after. If anyone out there has questions about this re: their own contract fight, hit me up and I will try to help how I can.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Ours is the first Guild contract to secure language protecting reproductive & gender-affirming health care. We also have a re-opener to negotiate for travel reimbursements once legalities around this become more clear.

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

This is the hardest work I have ever done, and the work I am the proudest to have completed successfully. I could not have done it without every member of TIME Union standing behind me. What a great day! 🧵👇

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

After 3 years of bargaining, TIME UNION HAS A CONTRACT!

Today, our members voted unanimously to ratify the contract. Here are some of the highlights:

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

TIME Union gathered for lunch today to talk about standing together with our TIME for Kids colleagues and the fair contract we deserve that will protect ALL of us.

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

Honored to return to the table tomorrow on behalf of my colleagues, each of whom deserves fair pay, benefits and protections that reflect their hard work. We want a contract that benefits ALL of us. 🧵👇

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Tomorrow our bargaining committee is back at the table. We are so close to getting a fair contract, but management continues to bring proposals to the table that don’t reflect the rights we deserve as dedicated employees of @TIME.

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

Coming together in solidarity is a boon for the soul. We carry it with us as our fight for a fair contract continues. Sign our petition and stand with us.

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Thank you to everyone who supported us today and attended our Twitter Spaces rally. Please continue to support us in our fight for a fair contract by signing our petition. Even though we did not walk out today, our solidarity is stronger than ever. https://t.co/6Wn0r4jPrJ

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

Side by side, shoulder to shoulder, solidarity forever.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It is absurd that @TIME has been stalling contract talks with workers for nearly 3 years. I stand in solidarity with @timemagunion in their struggle for fair wages and decent working conditions.

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

We're live NOW! Join and support our fight for a fair contract!

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

If you want to hear from us about our fight for a fair contract, join us at 12 p.m. ET on Twitter Spaces!

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Join us today at 12 p.m. ET for a Twitter Spaces rally to hear from @TIME workers about our fight for a fair contract https://t.co/6VNkwoWYoD

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

On the clock...⌚️💪👇

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

As of now, we still do not have a fair contract and @TIME management has not committed to any more bargaining before May 23, even though we’ve let them know we’re ready and willing. We are prepared to walk out on Monday and demonstrate the power of our labor.

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

Tick tock. ⌚️

[TIME Union @timemagunion]

Yesterday, @nyguild President @susandecarava sent a letter to TIME owners Lynne and Marc @Benioff, urging them to do right by us.

“Our members want to celebrate the TIME100 release knowing TIME will be a better place to work for everyone.”

[Jennifer Schiavone @JenniferInCopy]

@daniellesmitle Lemon curd. Chicken francaise. Lemon risotto. And the best recipe: use one or two now and for the rest save the zest in a bag in the freezer and freeze the juice into ice cubes and just be stocked up on lemon ingredients forever and toss it into things when the whim strikes.

[Congressional Workers Union @Congress_Union]

Thanks to @abbyvesoulis, @TIME’s coverage of our union drive was among the most impactful.

TIME must give the basic rights and dignity in the workplace we’re fighting for to their own journalists, photographers & staff who make this coverage possible! https://t.co/OqIgNn9lWc
