We're grateful to @WGAEast for representing and bargaining under Red Ventures. They stuck with us through it all! We're in solidarity with all unions fighting for protections in the media industry and beyond. (2/2)

Just Cause Donuts. 🍩

Just cause @CNET workers need & deserve it in our union contract. Just Cause is linchpin protection. It’s about fairness & due process. It’s standard in digital media shops & we’re telling @RedVentures we “donut” think at will employment is acceptable.

[IATSE Local 600 @ICGLocal600]

[CNET Media Workers Union @cnetunion]

We're back at the bargaining table today! Management spent a lot of time on @CNET's redesign. Hope @RedVentures worked just as hard on counterproposals!
💪💪💪
We want meaningful responses to:
AI protections
Remote work assurances
Just cause
Successorship (in case we're sold)

[Pineapple Street Union @pineapple_union]

🚨🚨JUST IN: @Mailchimp and their parent company @Intuit asked @pineapplemedia leadership to sign a contract promising to make a new show with non-union labor. There’s just one problem: Pineapple is a union shop! 🚨🚨

Our bargaining committee and @WGAEast bring our first round of proposals to the negotiating table today with @RedVentures, and we'll be speaking on behalf of all our members. Can't wait to secure protections and better working conditions at @CNET! ✊

Forward to a fair contract!

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

#Teamsters congratulate @WGAEast and @WGAWest writers on their militancy and unwavering solidarity, winning a tentative agreement after almost five months on strike! ✊✊✊

The #WGAstrike has inspired workers everywhere to stand up against corporate greed and anti-worker technology. #1u

"Journalists are fighting to ensure that AI won't replace their jobs and that content produced with the help of AI tools meets journalistic standards." Thanks to @angelanfu for covering how newsroom unions, including ours, are taking a stand:

[CNET Media Workers Union @cnetunion]

The CMWU is working to address @RedVentures' disregard for editorial integrity and its lack of meaningful disclosure regarding the mass removal of our content from the site.

[CNET Media Workers Union @cnetunion]

It’s alarming that @CNET & @RedVentures implemented a policy of purging older content mgmt deems “no longer relevant or helpful.” Though presented as improving the site's "domain authority and user experience,” Google denies such a strategy improves search engine rankings.

[CNET Media Workers Union @cnetunion]

"Content pruning" is an insult to our hard work & an affront to CNET’s history of expert tech & culture coverage. Mgmt released its internal policy memo to the press before circulating it widely to CNET’s editorial teams. The policy still hasn’t been officially shared with us.

“These strikes are happening … to set the precedent that AI must benefit everyone rather than being a terrifying inequality accelerator that throws millions out of work to enrich a lucky few … You have a stake in this fight.” 👀 @hamiltonnolan
