Breaking News: Melania Trump, in an unexpected statement, said she was not a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and that she had no knowledge of the abuse of his victims. https://t.co/w9pFo6Hzlh
@1199SEIU has built its reputation fighting for workers’ rights, but its own management is refusing real negotiations and trying to impose a contract by email. Staff are ready to bargain a fair deal. Email management and demand good-faith negotiations: https://t.co/rAWyQfXHj5
➡️@1199SEIU doesn't get to advertise itself as a powerful voice for workers’ rights and then not follow those same principles when bargaining with their own staff. Practice what you preach!
📢 SEND A LETTER TO MANAGEMENT!

ACTION: SEND A LETTER TO SUPPORT @1199SEIU STAFF‼️
New 1199 Leadership just WALKED AWAY from negotiations with their own staff after 8 months of bargaining their first staff contract.
Join us in calling for good-faith bargaining, a FAIR CONTRACT NOW!

Shame on @1199SEIU. For an organization that publicly demands employers respect workers and bargain fairly, 1199SEIU management’s actions are indefensible.

As @1199SEIU staffers, we are stunned at 1199 management's attempt to impose a final contract on us without meeting at the table.
Yvonne Armstrong & Veronica Turner-Biggs had an opportunity to repair trust.
They are engaged in the same anti-worker tactics of their predecessor.
Sun management has once again disparaged our talented HUMAN reporters and their work, this time by filling more than half a page in today’s paper with AI slop.
Will Lewis brought the Washington Post to the brink of destruction. The company must rescind the layoffs immediately to rebuild trust with the workers who make The Post run. Our members should not be forced to pay for the failures of Will Lewis and Jeff Bezos, who put him in charge.
Cutting newsroom workers undermines accountability for those pulling the levers of power. Jeff Bezos’ mass layoffs are not only a threat to workers – they are a threat to accountability journalism! Standing with the @PostGuild workers at @WashingtonPost.
Today’s rally was huge. The solidarity was palpable. Thank you to all of the allies and supporters who came out to support @PostGuild & @wapotechguild ♥️🫶✊ #SaveThePost
The Washington-Baltimore News Guild strongly condemns the layoffs announced today at The Washington Post. These cuts represent yet another blow to a newsroom that has already been pushed to its limits and a disservice to the readers who rely on The Post for rigorous, independent journalism.
I stand with our members who were laid off today and with those left behind to pick up the pieces. The Post’s mission — to hold power to account without fear or favor — cannot be fulfilled without investing in the workers who carry it out. #SaveThePost@WBNG32035
LARGEST GREEN UNION ALERT!💚
Workers at the Environmental Defense Fund voted to unionize with a whopping 81% of participants voting in favor!
We are so excited to welcome them to WBNG and get started negotiating a great contract!

Whirlwind day of solidarity at @1199ihsu with actions across the country bringing members together to talk about bargaining and how to get to a contract worthy of ratification. @1199SEIU, excited to see your counters next week! #1u@CWAUnion@newsguild@WBNG32035
@SenBillFerg .@SenBillFerg do better. As a resident of your district, I’d appreciate your leadership in lieu of your cowardice. Tuesdays results should teach us that we don’t need to sacrifice our morals to get a democrat elected in a democratic district.
We recently invited David Smith to the bargaining table — he suggested that he could get a deal done in “five minutes.”
That meeting never came. Instead, his lawyer declared impasse, and told us they’d implement a contract that silences union members.
