We are honoring the request of former @ThinkProgress staff to archive https://t.co/1XbuObLh4E with no further posting and end ThinkProgress’ membership program.
Full statement: https://t.co/OZZEnbG4KF
UPDATE: ICYMI, Last night CAP agreed to our ask. ThinkProgress will be archived, and recurring donations will be stopped. We are grateful for the solidarity, and encourage you all to unionize your newsrooms. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏾https://t.co/beteuZNWeo
This tweet is interesting for a lot of reasons, but also because Sanders kinda challenged the editorial independence in the CBA of @TP_Union (also part of @WGAEast, and also backing @vox_union) just a few weeks ago.
I came to Vox almost 3 years ago. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. And I was finally promoted a couple months ago. But so many of my brilliant colleagues aren’t so lucky. They deserve better.
I hope the company agrees to a fair contract with @vox_union.
Today‘s our last scheduled day of bargaining.
@voxmediainc is still apart from us on:
- competitive wage scales
- strong guaranteed raises
- better severance
- subcontracting work
We’ve decided we’re not showing up to work today until we resolve these issues.
With this being the last scheduled day of bargaining, the https://t.co/o0ZvY6sVc6 NBA team won’t be providing any Game 3 coverage today until @vox_union receives a fair contract.
This was a hard decision, but securing that contract today is more important than an NBA Finals game
Stop spending money on all the rainbow flags and just funnel that Pride Month budget into studying whether your company hires, pays and retains your LGBTQ staff at the same level as everyone else. If you’re found lacking, spend NEXT year’s Pride budget fixing the problem. Cool?
We’re thrilled to announce Vox Entertainment has unionized! We welcome our friends — who produce television shows like Explained, No Passport Required, and Consider It — to the @WGAEast family.
