Congrats!

🚨Today—for the first time since @motherjones.com merged with @revealnews.org—we’re beginning negotiations with management over our collective bargaining agreement. Here's what we're fighting for :🧵👇

This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts. It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.

The NYT Guild unit council (which I'm on) voted UNANIMOUSLY to support The Athletic workers joining our unit. Our UC is never unanimous on anything. I've been as detached from union work as reporting work while on medical leave, but I logged on for the minute it took to vote an enthusiastic yes.

BREAKING NEWS: Today, editorial workers from @theathletic.bsky.social announced that they are organizing with us and have asked @nytimes.com to recognize them as part of the Times Guild. Read more here: www.nyguild.org/post/athleti...

Our colleague @aurabogado.bsky.social is being laid off from @motherjones.com and @revealnews.org -- right before Christmas. We're fighting to protect her rights. If you're able, please consider helping her out by donating to her here www.gofundme.com/f/community-...

I was unexpectedly laid off from @motherjones.com on Friday the 13th. I’ve been deprived of direct access to my Google Drive, which contains seven years worth of work. I am also ineligible for unemployment. This is a terrible Christmas for me and my family. If you have leads for work, pls lmk.

WE HAVE A DEAL: We are thrilled to announce that we have a tentative, three-year deal with @theatlantic.com, pending ratification by our members. Here are just a few highlights of the deal…

BIG NEWS: Our @theatlanticunion.com members (both units) have tentative contract deal with @theatlantic.com. Highlights: Up to 55% higher salary floor; wages up by an average of 17% over the life of the contract, and 'just cause' job security. Read more here www.nyguild.org/front-page-d...

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now. The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country. The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.

On Friday, 12 days before Christmas, one of our members was told by @motherjones.com / @revealnews.org management she would be laid off January 15. The company immediately locked her out of her email, which contains material she needs—despite the fact she remains an employee for the next month.
