1) Actually no, they're really not this complicated.

2) We can't negotiate if your representatives don't show up.

3) You can recognize this union TODAY, @BuzzFeedBen.

[The NewsGuild of Greater Philadelphia @PhillyNewsGuild]

🚨We will not go quietly. 🚨

We sent a letter to the Philadelphia Media Network’s board of directors to notify them of our current situation where our publisher Terry Egger has refused to bargain with us in good faith during our wage reopener.

Let's break down our situation👇

[The NewsGuild of Greater Philadelphia @PhillyNewsGuild]

Today, we asked @NLRB to re-open an unfair labor practice investigation into the Inquirer’s (@phillydotcom) parent company, Philadelphia Media Network.

It’s based on newly obtained information that leads us to believe the company lied to us during contract negotiations in 2015.

[Brianna Provenzano @bri_provenzano]

No one tells you that the hardest part of a layoff comes two months in, when everything has gone mostly quiet. So many of us are still struggling to find work, or struggling in general. Please let us be the example - this can’t just be “the way it is” in media

[Alex Berg @itsalexberg]

If I’ve learned anything from being part of several news organizations that’ve done a “pivot to video,” it’s how beneficial it is to be part of a union or have the help of one. Beyond your paycheck, it gets your work protected and gives you other kinds of recourse.

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

.@mic_union calls on digital newsrooms to create clearer policies around employees’ rights’ to their work and for newsrooms to unionize, demand regular transparency, and “get clarity on newsroom policy around sexual assault and harassment.” https://t.co/t1GFlsme9s

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

Remember when @caltchek and @jacobdhorowitz shut down @Mic with no notice, sold the scraps to @bustle, and our members' work was posted to the site with no attribution? Well, we do. And we're watching. @micunion statement and call to action here: https://t.co/ySzC1E4wJW
