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.

What do you say, @ayeshacurry? Stand with @MeredithUnion and the workers who worked long days and weekends WITHOUT PAY on your beautiful magazine.

[PEOPLE United (We/They/Us/Union) @PeopleIncUnion]

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

There’s a way to both see me talk and get a SIGNED copy of my new book, if one or both of those things appeal to you! Thanks!!

Today, the Meredith Union—the people who make @People, @PeopleTV, @Shape_Magazine, @marthaliving and @EW—filed unfair labor practice charges against our employer @MeredithCorp for its unlawful union-busting. #KeepYourPromisesMeredith

[Seija Rankin @seijawrites]

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

[PEOPLE United (We/They/Us/Union) @PeopleIncUnion]

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.

[PEOPLE United (We/They/Us/Union) @PeopleIncUnion]

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.

[Seija Rankin @seijawrites]

this has big “count every legal vote” energy

Re Meredith Union announcement: Statement from Meredith Corp. spokesperson Jill Davison says the company's policy is to not voluntarily recognize a union

[Seija Rankin @seijawrites]

proud and excited to continue the 2020 revolution—this time at work. it’s time we got a place at the table.

[PEOPLE United (We/They/Us/Union) @PeopleIncUnion]

We stand together as proud employees of @MeredithCorp brands @EW, @PeopleTV, @Shape_Magazine, and @MarthaLiving to request voluntary recognition of us joining our union colleagues at @People as one @NYGuild bargaining unit.

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).

@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?
