When Dotdash Meredith shuttered @EW print last week, many of us were cruelly laid off without severance or support that recognizes our contributions to the company. We, the more than 70 current and former staffers who made EW a must-read, demand better.
Today we head to the bargaining table to kick off contract negotiations with @MeredithCorp. Our goal is to build a more equitable, diverse, inclusive and safe workplace that mutually raises up workers and ensures the continued success of the brands we take so much pride in. #1u
Author @jaketapper explores the dark side of Hollywood in his new novel, The Devil May Dance. And on June 23, he'll discuss it & the real-life figures in the book - Frank Sinatra, Robert Kennedy & others. @EW's @seijawrites moderates: https://t.co/D1MD0jYiyk
most of what meredith offers, they offer to white men at the top and no one else—we formed this union so that every single employee can have workplace safety and a competitive salary (though for many of my colleagues, a livable wage would be an improvement) #meredithunion
Meredith says it believes in direct communication and open dialogue with its employees—which is why the company gave a statement to the press without responding directly to us.
We already voted with 90% support by signing union cards. A secret ballot election where the outcome is a foregone conclusion is just a procedural obstacle to delay recognition of the union.

This is the David Sedaris we need. The world's favorite humor essayist shares his thoughts on luck, loneliness, and releasing a literary highlight reel, 'The Best of Me,' into the strangest of times. https://t.co/EOwSaAtx0n
He'll never read this tweet but I'm so honored David Sedaris said yes to being the cover star for our first-ever Fall Books issue. It feels good to feel good about something (for now).
‘A Visit From the Goon Squad’ is now 10 years old, and author @Egangoonsquad is going to talk all about it with us! Do you have a question about the book or its legacy? Feel free to leave it here.
@ServicioTM She just announced an event on that same day in Memphis, the event page on Ticketmaster is no longer there, and the venue (Pepsi Center WTC) posted this morning that it's cancelled. Does that mean they're all wrong and the show is happening?
