In solidarity with colleagues at Thrillist and The Dodo who are striking today. #oneuniononecontract

[Writers Guild of America East @WGAEast]

WGAE members at @thedodounion and @Thrillistunion are engaging in a one-day strike TOMORROW. Management has withheld raises and promotions from members at The Dodo & Thrillist — despite giving them to their other @VoxMedia colleagues. Enough is enough. #OneUnionOneContract now!

A statement from the Vox Media Union, @thrillistunion and @thedodounion on the partnership between Vox Media and OpenAI.

Please consider donating to the Vox Media Union's layoff fund, which will benefit all Vox Media employees laid off last week, including our comrades at @thedodounion.

[Writers Guild of America West @WGAWest]

The Board of Directors of the @WGAwest and the Council of the @WGAeast, acting upon the authority granted to them by their memberships, have voted unanimously to call a strike, effective 12:01 AM, Tuesday, May 2.

Please support if you're willing and able!
On January 20, several members of the Vox Media Union, Dodo Union, and Thrillist Union were laid off as the company eliminated 7 percent of its workforce. This GoFundMe will directly benefit union members impacted by those layoffs.

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

@Bankoff Immediately after the layoffs were announced, we began planning ways to help our colleagues who lost their jobs.

Even with industry-leading severance, these are tough times to lose your media job. Please donate to our GoFundMe if you're able.

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

It’s been over a week since 20+ members of the Vox Media Union were laid off, and we still haven’t heard from @bankoff.

We’ve collected questions from our members on the impact of these layoffs, and we want answers.

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

We were informed today that the company is laying off around 7 percent of its workforce, and some of our members have been impacted.

We're furious at the way the company has approached these layoffs, and are currently discussing how to best serve those who just lost their jobs.

WE HAVE A DEAL!!!!! After an intense week of bargaining with Vox Media Management, we are thrilled to announce that we've reached a tentative agreement on our second CBA.

#VoxContractNow

[Nadia Q. Ahmad @aminad1a]

.@Bankoff @voxmedia It’s Saturday. I don’t want to be thinking about this. We’re all taking time away from personal plans, creative projects, loved ones — but we’re doing so to fight for one another. 🌺 Love and respect to @vox_union bargaining committee and @WGAEast reps.

[Nadia Q. Ahmad @aminad1a]

As a fellow Nadia, I LOVE THIS MEME @nadiachaudhury @nlyonne!! @vox_union

[Brittany Britto Garley @brittanybritto]

While I feel blessed to be here, I’m also so confident that Vox @bankoff can do better for me and my colleagues — present and future, and help this company be a model for what other journo orgs & companies can be (but also what should be the minimum for employees in our country!)

[Rachel Leah Blumenthal @blumie]

We are working around the clock to get @vox_union a fair #voxcontractnow. @Bankoff, let’s wrap things up this weekend, please!

[Nadia Q. Ahmad @aminad1a]

Not a decision that anyone in @vox_union is considering lightly — but if we have to strike for a fair contract now, I’m ready. #VoxContractNow

[Nadia Q. Ahmad @aminad1a]

I've kinda stopped posting job stuff on social media, but this news is worth it: As a current staff member at Eater, in a position that's part of @vox_union, I stand with my colleagues & the union's stalwart bargaining committee for a fair contract now. Current contract exp. tmrw

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

we ready

[Beth McKibben 🍸 @TheLazySusan]

My @vox_union colleagues & I are fighting for a fair contract, including fair year-over-year raises & salary minimums. As the lone staff member @ Eater ATL, I work many hours reporting, budgeting/building editorial, & on freelance edits. Fair compensation isn’t too much to ask.
