[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

We’re thrilled to announce Vox Entertainment has unionized! We welcome our friends — who produce television shows like Explained, No Passport Required, and Consider It — to the @WGAEast family.

You folks are doing incredible work!! Solidarity forever ✊

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

One year ago today, we began negotiating our first collective bargaining agreement with Vox Media. We're back at the table this week, continuing to fight for a fair contract for all #VoxUnion employees. ✊

Thank you to the tens of thousands of creators and EU citizens who spoke out about the unintended consequences of Article 13. The amendment to delete A13 lost by a few votes, and could have gone differently. This is the beginning. #saveyourinternet https://t.co/07bsjVGVvf

[Fight for the Future @fightfortheftr]

Big win today. But we can't let up for a second. Full committee vote comes next, then House floor, then the Senate. Onward! https://t.co/xP1TlvVGT2

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

We're super stoked to get to our last phase of bargaining: economics. It's been a long journey, but we're so thankful for everyone's overwhelming continuous public support, and we couldn't be more excited to present our proposal across the table today. #VoxUnion ✊

BuzzFeed “basically hit” $300 million in revenue for 2018, the Journal reported, but CEO Jonah Peretti told staff that “revenue growth by itself isn’t enough to be successful in the long run." https://t.co/V1pCw61Rly

[GMG Union @gmgunion]

do you like our new posters? we made them special for today’s bargaining session

[Vox Media Union @vox_union]

As of 11:06 am, more than 500 Buzzfeed employees have signed a petition for the company to pay out vacation days to *ALL* laid-off workers.

Kudos to @ICGuild for confronting issues of burnout and precarity among Youtube creators. https://t.co/lROhrOx6yD

[Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 @GameWorkers]

This is what organized labor can do. All workers benefit from the support of their union.

@ceciliakang @sheeraf @nickconfessore @AllMattNYT @jacknicas In other recent @Facebook news: “Advertisers were duped into focusing on the social network under the belief that people were spending more time watching on Facebook than through other video platforms.” https://t.co/8GDFz03Xer

[ICG @ICGuild]

@ceciliakang @sheeraf @nickconfessore @AllMattNYT @jacknicas Wow.

“Facebook employed a Republican opposition-research firm to discredit activist protesters, in part by linking them to the liberal financier George Soros.”

How do creators feel about monetizing a platform that uses these tactics?

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

The more I learn about the business of early online video, how things actually went down, the more I see that the "wild west" wasn't about how free we were to create, it was about how free assholes were to suck value out of innovative young creators.

[WilliamOsman @WilliamOsman]

I was a guest on @hankgreen's creator podcast!!!! We talked YouTube for an hour https://t.co/Vd2Iolzg0d
