FT US Guild

Read about our mission: the US staff of the @FT with @newsguild @CWAUnion

[FT US Guild @FTUSGuild]

Members of @FTUSGuild stopped work for 30 minutes today to deliver a clear message to @FT CEO John Ridding and our owner @Nikkei: We deserve fair compensation

We’re fighting for a higher retirement match, improved parental leave and one-time raises for our lowest-paid colleagues

[FT US Guild @FTUSGuild]

We’d also like to thank @FT management for their time and effort engaging in productive negotiations.

We look forward to working together for the duration of our contract, and beyond, to make the FT a great place to work.

It's official! Our members have voted unanimously to ratify our first contract.

This deal is the culmination of nearly four years of hard work 💪

We're immensely grateful for all the support we’ve received from our members, the @NewsMediaGuild and our allies in @NUJofficial

More than two years after our union was recognized, we’ve finally come to a tentative agreement with the Financial Times and will put it to our members for a vote.
