HAPPENING TODAY: Come join our @NYTimesGuild at a a major event, "Rally for a Fair Contract," starting at 1230PM ET at @nytimes (40th Street side). SEE YOU THERE
Today much of the @NYTimes is empty because our members are working at home. We want to show that we can, in fact, do incredible work anywhere. We demand a fair contract with reasonable flexibility so that every member can do their best work- wherever they are working from.
PACK THE INBOX! Today we flooded the email boxes of @nytimes management to let them know we are committed to all five of our priorities. We want to see them come to the table ready to negotiate seriously on each one.
This industry is tough, but slashing hundreds of journalism jobs is NOT the solution. Our Guild members in D.C. rallied with our friends @PostGuild to say: Save the Post!
Today's layoffs at The Washington Post are devastating. Cuts to one news organization are a cut to our whole industry. We stand in solidarity with you, @PostGuild
We stand in solidarity with the @PostGuild. Staff cuts leave fewer journalists serving our communities. Democracy dies in darkness, and it's a lot harder to shine a light from a shrinking newsroom. #SaveThePost

Take a look at these stats. @NyTimes management doesn’t want to pay employees to have good health care but has no problem shoveling money into the pockets of shareholders.
THE TIMES IS UNION-MADE: Today we began bargaining our new contract, and in our first session, we not only told management we were united, we showed them. Our bargaining committee presented a pledge signed by 80% of our union, supporting five core priorities…..
We are fighting for a contract that keeps union work in our union, including our Athletic coworkers; wages that recognize our contributions to the company’s success; remote work flexibility; meaningful A.I. protections; and affordable health care....
