NOW: @latguild members walked off the job this morning for the first time in the paper’s 142 year history.

They are now rallying at Grand Park in Downtown LA.

@FidiumFiber my Internet is down on Maple Street in Bangor. What is the expected time it will be restored?

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

Thank you to our readers who supported our efforts! This unit is the largest and most engaged it’s been in a generation. We will enforce the contract we won and never stop fighting to make @nytimes the best workplace it can be.

Solidarity forever✊

After nearly 800 days without a contract, ~1,000 @NYTimesGuild members voted more than 99 percent in favor to ratify a new 5-year deal that includes an immediate $65,000 salary floor, raises for every member, hybrid work options, a ban on NDAs and new investments in local news.

[We Build NPR @WeBuildNPR]

We're working to rule until we get the contract we deserve from @NPR.

What does that look like for us?

For starters, we'll be refusing to pick up work outside our job description.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

In an all-hands today, our C.E.O. said it would be irresponsible to use the $250 million the company just authorized in buybacks for Guild salaries because the costs would compound. Barely a third of that would cover the Guild’s economic proposals over the life of the contract.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

Today we were ready to work for as long as it took to reach a fair deal, but management walked away from the table with five hours to go. It’s official: @NYTimesGuild members are walking out for 24 hours on Thursday. We know what we’re worth.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

That’s why tomorrow’s walkout is, for now, still on.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

There was good news and bad news after 12 hours of bargaining yesterday. Our collective action is working: Management backed off its attempt to kill our pension and agreed to expand fertility benefits.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

If @NYTimesGuild members don't have a deal soon, we’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Pull out a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

It turns out I'm a supporter of "Karen 1%," @basseyetim's latest creative work. May need a name tag clarifying I'm not a Karen. Check out Karen 1% - An Audio Drama by Bassey Etim. https://t.co/8BbXOtQKae

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Russian military leaders discussed potentially using nuclear weapons in Ukraine, U.S. officials said, showing how frustrated Moscow is with battlefield setbacks. @helenecooper speaks with @StevenErlanger and @McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia. https://t.co/N7lfncXnhg

New: An emboldened cast of trolls has spewed racist slurs and Nazi memes onto Twitter in the hours since @elonmusk freed the bird. Musk says no "free-for-all hellscape," but hate is already rampant: One post screaming the n-word has more than 4,000 likes https://t.co/fgu3LJtfKR

[Elizabeth Dwoskin @lizzadwoskin]

After Jan. 6, social platforms stopped enforcing against election fraud claims. Those claims went rampant in subsequent years, spawning a generation that reshaped the media landscape - one of many fascinating findings of our deep dive data project.
