It has been two years since BuzzFeed Canada unionized. We still don't have a collective agreement. It has been a long two years but we are dedicated, united, and eager. ✊

Here's an update on our negotiations so far.

Power and solidarity to our US colleagues ✊

[BuzzFeed News Union ✊ @bfnewsunion]

Today we’re presenting a proposal to BuzzFeed management on wages and pay structure in our newsroom.

Our goal is to address two important issues at BuzzFeed News: Extreme pay disparities between teams and a byzantine “leveling” system that leaves employees in the dark. Thread 👇

"It's not just food we have to scrape for. A female employee who joined in 2016 said her current salary is so low, she qualifies for affordable housing where she lives"

Solidarity to the @zdcreatorsguild workers ✊

[Ziff Davis Creators Guild @zdcreatorsguild]

Today, the Ziff Davis Creators Guild is walking out in protest of management’s egregious and insulting wage proposals.

After over two years of bargaining, management has not worked with us in good faith to secure a fair contract for our members. #WereWorthMore

Solidarity with @zdcreatorsguild, who are fighting for fair pay they deserve ✊

[Pitchfork Union @p4kunion]

Our fight for fair pay at @pitchfork continues on Monday, where we expect to tackle wages at the table. Underpayment has been endemic at the site for years, and many talented writers and editors have left because of it. Here are some testimonials from former Pitchfork staffers:

[HuffPost Canada Union @HuffpostCAUnion]

It's been more than four weeks since our entire newsroom was laid off by Buzzfeed.

We are still fighting for fair severance. Today we are calling on Buzzfeed to honour the contributions of our contract workers and long-service employees. (THREAD)

[HuffPost Canada Union @HuffpostCAUnion]

In recent weeks we have shared these concerns internally with @peretti and @BuzzFeed to no response.

We are calling on them to give these workers fair and equitable severance.

[HuffPost Union @HuffPostUnion]

Solidarity with our Canadian colleagues, whose newsroom was entirely gutted in our recent round of layoffs. All of its employees deserve fair severance.

[BuzzFeed Canada Union ✊🇨🇦 @bfcaunion]

Solidarity with the HuffPost Canada Union. Fair severance for contract workers and long-term employees now. ✊

[CWA Canada @cwacanada1]

After acquiring HuffPost Canada and abruptly closing the digital media outlet, BuzzFeed is not treating all laid-off employees fairly in terms of severance pay. https://t.co/PuhUl9xOWc
