This Christmas, we wanted a fair contract. We got a backpack.

Mary Oliver poems are so amazing because you’ll be like “I feel bereft and hopeless and so alone” and she’ll be like “ok, but have you ever really thought about moss?” And it turns out you haven’t.

Happy 1 year anni to our tireless bargaining committee for continuing to fight for an equitable contract for our *entire* @marketplace unit!!

My wish this year is that we never have to make another cake. 🙃

[Marketplace Union @mplaceunion]

We've been bargaining our contract with @mpr @ampubmedia for 1 year now! Hopefully we won't have to be at it for another year #wemakemarketplace

[Mel Rosenberg @melroseprose]

It feels truly wild that we (@mplaceunion) had to write a letter about this.

Our company knows our stance on OT and still chooses to push back, week after week.

[Marketplace Union @mplaceunion]

We sent this letter to MPR President @DPDREW and @Marketplace VP and General Manager @ScarThinc after last week's bargaining session. More than 95% of our unit signed it. #WeMakeMarketplace ✊

No one should have to ask themselves, “Can I afford to work at @Marketplace?” Right now, many employees have to, and the union is doing something about it. #WeMakeMarketplace

[Marketplace Union @mplaceunion]

At @Marketplace, most employees in the union are currently eligible for overtime pay. But our parent company, @AmPubMedia/@MPR, wants to take it away for nearly all positions.

So, let's do the numbers on overtime:

RT if you support OT for the @Marketplace union. ✊

[Marketplace Union @mplaceunion]

Last week, our parent company @AmPubMedia/@MPR announced that it is shutting down @apmreports as an independent, investigative unit in the company.

[Marketplace Union @mplaceunion]

We are back at the bargaining table today! On the agenda: layoffs, severance, & paid family leave. #WeMakeAPM #WeMakeMarketplace

OK wait, my google has started speaking to me as a woman and only speaking to @stindavison as a man (completely unprompted?) (no more man voice for me, I guess ??) Honestly, feeling very gendered and offended, what is the meaning of this @google?

[Molly Wood @mollywood]

While we're discussing #framing, let's also call this what it is. It's forcing women to give birth against their will for religious reasons, and most journalists are afraid to talk about it because it was made political by those who don't want us to talk about it.

[Mel Rosenberg @melroseprose]

@ericaephillips AH INCREDIBLE!! So thrilled for you!✨

[Mel Rosenberg @melroseprose]

[Marketplace Union @mplaceunion]

We are officially the @Marketplace union.
