Official account for @slate's staff union with the @WGAEast. #1u

[Slate Union @SlateUnion]

On Monday morning, Slate was suddenly informed that six of its employees—including three editors, two of whom were members of the union—were being laid off, just months after four other staffers were also let go. The Slate Union's official statement reads as follows:

[Slate Union @SlateUnion]

We just wrapped another big day of bargaining. We're making progress but there will be plenty of work to do after the holiday, especially regarding workplace protections around AI. Grateful as ever for this union—and eager to finish bargaining with a strong contract! 💪🦃

[Slate Union @SlateUnion]

We’re headed to the bargaining table today for our second meeting with management to discuss details of a new contract. The members of Slate Union are excited to bargain to improve working conditions and lives. We hope Slate management bargains in good faith with us. ✊

[Slate Union @SlateUnion]

We want to thank all of you for your messages of solidarity and support ❤️

Our union will continue to advocate for our members, and we will provide further updates as we dig in this year.

[Cascade PBS Union @CascadePBSUnion]

Our CEO made $471,105 in 2023, nearly 7X the average journalist’s salary. His 2023 bonus alone would have made him one of the highest paid workers in the newsroom today.

Our @cascadepbs union members struggle to make ends meet. #union #FairContract Sign our petition. 🔗 in bio

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Fair First Union Contract for @techunion1010 - @AFLCIO workers at https://t.co/Fhgw4j3q0A / Aunt Bertha . Write one here: https://t.co/5THUIt25Ky

[NBC Guild @nbcnewsguild]

Two weeks before @NBCNews proudly announced the hiring of Ronna McDaniel, execs illegally terminated 13 union journalists.

@Cesarconde_ never offered an explanation for the layoffs, but actions speak clearly — NBC prioritized an election denier over its own reporters.

[Tech Workers Union 1010 @techunion1010]

Please join us in demanding a fair first contract for @fhsolidarity. Thank you to all our supporters so far, over 400 people have sent a letter using this link. Let's keep the momentum going!: https://t.co/ergxu6OipX

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

Solidarity with @law360union! Absolutely SHAMEFUL for @LexisNexis to illegally lay off their workers like this 😠

[condeunion @condeunion]

Last week, @CondeNast CEO @RogerLynch told @Axios the company had no plans for more layoffs.

Today, rather than come to the bargaining table with new contract proposals, management instead proposed five more names to terminate, and threatened more to come.

[Law360Union @law360union]

Missed our rally? Here are some highlights! Bargaining committee member and grievance chair @Emma_Cueto emphasized we don’t leave people behind!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Yesterday's @PostGuild walkout was a historic moment of solidarity.

Let's keep the momentum going—we need you to write a letter to @WashingtonPost management now to let them know these workers need a fair contract! https://t.co/wrHIgpPWup

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

750+ strong in D.C. ➡️New York ➡️San Francisco ➡️L.A. ➡️And beyond

Our demands are clear. Washington Post: It’s your turn to come to the table with a fair deal.

[penguild @penguild]

We at PEN Guild support our union friends at the Post as they strike against layoffs and the Post’s refusal to bargain in good faith. Go @PostGuild!

Washington, DC! Let's show up for the WGA striking writers today at 5:30 pm!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

We're furious and it's time for a fair contract—fast!

That's why tomorrow in Washington, D.C., striking @WGAEast members and labor allies will be leafletting outside of a private @comcast @NBCNews screening of Fast X. Come one, come all! (via @DPEaflcio)

I am one of the 4employees @peretti is excluding from the same severance package as my colleagues based on solely on my zip code.

I won the newsroom's first major award, the Polk, in 2018 — work he used to present to investors. But I did so w/ help from copy editors & curation
