BDN Union

We are a union representing @bangordailynews newsroom staff from the crown of Maine to York County. We are part of @newsguild and @guild_maine.

[Andy O'Brien @aobrien2010]

2 years ago news staff at @bangordailynews formed a union, but management still refuses to agree to a contract that protects news jobs from being outsourced. Tell BDN management you value local news reported & produced locally!

Happy one year of negotiations to the @bdn_union. May you get the contract you deserve ✊🏻.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

The @nytimes’s decision to replace our Sports section with nonunion employees sets a troubling precedent. More than 1,000 @NYTimesGuild, @WirecutterUnion + @NYTGuildTech members signed a petition demanding that Times management stop violating our contract and respect union work.

[BDN Union @bdn_union]

Great news for our fellow Guild members at NYT. https://t.co/P5hg2t6xG2

Happy 1st birthday to @bdn_union! Forming a union with my coworkers is easily my hardest-won and most proud accomplishment!

[BDN Union @bdn_union]

It’s almost time to celebrate the first birthday of the BDN Union with some bowling!

[Daily Kos Guild @DailyKosGuild]

Labor is a fundamental tenet of progressivism. Our workers have rights, and @dailykos has, until recently, been staunchly pro-labor. But right now they’ve lost their way, and we’re filing Unfair Labor Practice charges with the NLRB to help them find it.

Hi friends, today was my last day at the Bangor Daily News. I am so grateful for my year at the paper and the chance to tell the stories of coastal Maine. It’s been a blast and wonderful to see the work that the @bdn_union has done.

[Lia Russell @LiaOffLeash]

I’m also incredibly proud to have helped build and organize the @bdn_union. Serving on the organizing committee & as vice chair has been one of the most gratifying experiences ever, especially as our bargaining committee starts negotiating for our 1st contract today

[Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ @FortWorthGuild]

Our friends at @libertyloungefw will be hosting an event next week to raise money for our strike fund.

We hope so see y’all there!

[BDN Union @bdn_union]

Day 1 of bargaining is today. Let’s get this bread 🍞 💪

Journalism has long been synonymous with low wages and long hours. And while journalism aims to uncover abuses and injustices, the industry tends to ignore its own exploitations.

Help us build a better industry, for us and for our community.

Standing with our TN union siblings today. RTW is the right to get fleeced.

[MLK50: Justice Through Journalism @MLK50Memphis]

The language “right-to-work” does not appear anywhere on today's ballot, and some employment lawyers say the amendment is framed in a way that intentionally ignores the context of what “right-to-work” really means. https://t.co/53f47KPxxk

The @PittsburghPG Politics Team is on strike this Election Day with @PGHGuild. We want to work! We want to cover this pivotal election, which we’ve been working to do for months! #FairContractNow @Ashley__Murray @Hallielujah18 @julianrouth

[BDN Union @bdn_union]

Union wife, happy life

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

We're on strike for the health of ourselves, our families, our union siblings and the Pittsburgh community we strive to serve. 

Can you chip in to help keep all our family fed and fighting? https://t.co/t8IBkSUzJp

Congrats! We stand in solidarity with these Maine workers as they fight for a better and safer place to work. #unionstrong

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

Workers at the Augusta Chipotle have organized a union! These workers are demanding safe, adequate staffing at their store. They filed today for union recognition as Chipotle United, an independent union.

Welcome to the labor movement, Chipotle United! @UnionElections

That’s vice chair Russell to you 😎
