Our nonprofit newsroom is unionizing! We have united to form Marshall Project Guild, part of https://t.co/h5WoFpIwcf Together, we're committed to preserving the best of our newsroom and securing a future for our staff, work, and readership.

WE WON: Our @CondéNast members who were illegally fired and disciplined after taking part in a “march on the boss” in November have been reinstated as part of a more than $400,000 settlement. More details here ... https://t.co/mPONRGVzXZ

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

TAKING LEGAL ACTION: The @nytimes is using AI technology to monitor and surveil the performance of our @NYTGuildTech members in violation of their collective bargaining agreement. More here...

HUGE WIN ON AI: Our @timemagunion ratified a new contract this week that includes "no layoffs due to AI" as well as higher wage floors, raises and more. More here.... https://t.co/6z3eNBZ987

[Lex Vaughn @AlexaVaughn]

YIKES: The Seattle Times rejected a union request to not replace workers with AI saying "Journalism doesn't mean journalists." https://t.co/5vNVHzRCjY

[Marshall Project Guild @TMPGuild]

Today we're taking a collective lunch break in solidarity with @propublicaguild's strike for a fair contract.

You can support ProPublica Guild by not clicking on or sharing PP stories today!

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: https://t.co/tN24poWh62

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

Investigative journalism with a moral force is a public service that we take seriously, and we need a strong contract to do our jobs effectively. That’s why we are ready to strike! Our GoFundMe will help offset the cost of missed pay:

Read this #newsnotslop thread from the incredible folks at @penguild - who know a little something about winning on AI. Share your stories and let's keep up the conversation on AI.

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

NEWS, NOT SLOP: 🧵 All this week, our members are taking on AI and fighting for people-powered journalism. #newsnotslop. @newsguild...

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

“AI is a tool that can support our work but there’s no AI function that can replace a human’s ability to fully consider journalism’s ethical implications or to approach an investigation with thoughtfulness and integrity.” Mark Olalde of @propublicaguild....

[The NewsGuild-CWA @newsguild]

Workers CAN regulate AI with strong contract language. Full stop.

Unionized journalists just proved this at POLITICO. @penguild

[condeunion @condeunion]

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

[Daily News Union @NYDNUnion]

A HOME RUN: @Yankees fans loved our special baseball cards. We passed out hundreds of them at Sunday’s game to spread awareness about how @NYDailyNews owner Alden Global Capital has slashed sports staff since it acquired New York’s Hometown Paper. Watch our video:

[Marshall Project Guild @TMPGuild]

🚨Today, we sent a letter to @marshallproj leadership expressing concern about their denial of bargaining obligations. Management has repeatedly denied members Weingarten rights, engaged in an illegal layoff, and more — we need your help to demand that they bargain in good faith.

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

We’re holding a lunch-out today to demand that @propublica management agree to a fair discipline and performance evaluation system. Just today, a member of our Bargaining Committee and Unit Council was fired as a result of ProPublica's flawed system.

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

1/4 UPDATE: This week, @propublica management informed a third bargaining unit member that they will be placed on a performance improvement plan and denied steward representation at the meeting where it is discussed. Our full statement 👇

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

We launched our union for a fairer and more transparent workplace, protections for our staff and a seat at the table. One year in, here’s what we’ve accomplished — and where @ProPublica's management is fighting us. https://t.co/oi2e7tLSf4
