Fighting for the workers of America's leading Jewish publication since 1960.

[Forward Guild @ForwardGuild]

Big news that makes for an especially sweet New Year: We finally have a contract! 🎉🎉🎉

After 14 months of bargaining, we've secured an agreement for our members that raises wages, strengthens job security and reflects our core values. 🧵

[Forward Guild @ForwardGuild]

One of the most essential things reporters do is cover policy and community safety — that requires access to police transmissions without barriers!

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

STATEMENT (1 of 2): The NewsGuild of New York supports state Senate Bill S7759, known as the ‘Keep Police Radio Public Act,’ which would ensure that journalists and the public can listen to police transmissions without any barriers. Read more here ….. https://t.co/wN0UNeyf5O

"Journalism is not terrorism, and covering violence is not the same thing as condoning it. Journalists document tragedy as it unfolds and shine a light on a dark world. Our job is to seek truth and report it, especially during a war."

[The NewsGuild-CWA @newsguild]

We strongly condemn the killing of journalists in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon and call on all parties to ensure the safety of journalists. We also condemn comments made by Benny Gantz, an Israeli government minister, who compared journalists to “terrorists” https://t.co/lRKTdvEduZ

A huge win for working people in this country ✊✊✊

[The NewsGuild-CWA @newsguild]

Something has to change. @LeeUnions launched a campaign to highlight the cuts by the company and how it's preventing communities from getting the news they deserve. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness https://t.co/JL6uLGmae9

[RWDSU @RWDSU]

The boss’s promises are temporary. Negotiated and ratified by the workers, a union contract is in writing. #1u

[Forward Guild @ForwardGuild]

When we fight we win!!!! Huge congrats to our colleagues at Insider

[Insider Union ✊ @InsiderUnion]

����WE WON! 🥳‼️

We have a tentative agreement on a contract that will give our members more money and job protections and resolve our ULP.

Our strike is over - we’re going back to work tomorrow!🎉

[Forward Guild @ForwardGuild]

“Also, Nich is not annoyed at the union — after all, it was only a handful who participated in the stunt — and he can’t wait to have them all back at work soon.”

[Insider Union ✊ @InsiderUnion]

1/7 We stand in solidarity w/ @latguild on a fight we at @insiderunion are all too familiar with— blatant disregard for labor laws and the creation and distribution of quality journalism.
Hope @meridak is smarter than @nichcarlson or @hblodget in not testing journalists’ resolve.

[Dripped Out Trade Unionists @UnionDrip]

It's called union busting, @nytimes. https://t.co/wJ1QFF8W8a

[Forward Guild @ForwardGuild]

“Anyone who destroys a life is considered to have destroyed an entire world.”

Our former opinion editor is an enduring stain on the Forward. Those who enabled her rise through our newspaper should condemn what they helped create.

[Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon]

I ride the subway a lot. Not a week goes by that a mentally ill person doesn't get on and terrorize the entire car—especially women, especially Asians. Usually the men just sit there and pretend it's not happening. It's a disgrace that working New Yorkers have to live like this.

[kelsey mckinney @mckinneykelsey]

There are no "economic headwinds" there are no "evolutions in the media industry" causing these layoffs. The blame is fully and always with these rich dudes in charge, making bad business decisions, and never facing any fucking consequences for them.

[Forward Guild @ForwardGuild]

Quit!

Jonah Peretti: “I could have managed these changes better as the CEO of this company and our leadership team could have performed better despite these circumstances. Our job is to adapt, change, improve, and perform despite the challenges in the world. We can and will do better.”

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

The Starbucks union-busting trifecta: threats, intimidation, and a little coercion.

[Forward Guild @ForwardGuild]

A strike isn’t extra-legal

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

This isn't a fight between democracy vs. authoritarianism. If anything, the Right is calling for more democracy and has an elected coalition, while the Left is using extra-legal measures like shutting down airports and highways to guarantee minority protections.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

After 3 years of thriving with hybrid work, we cannot in good faith agree to a contract that would give @nytimes the unilateral right to call us into the office 5 days a week — the company’s current position. 865 @NYTimesGuild members delivered this petition to management today.
