We have so far been unable to reach a deal with Vox Media that includes fair pay, AI protections, competitive benefits, improved severance and layoff procedures. Should we not reach a fair contract tonight, our 250-member @VoxMediaUnion.bsky.social has overwhelmingly authorized a strike. ⏰ @vox.com

If I were @vox.com and I wanted my sites to be full of good things people want to read or watch or listen to I would simply make sure that the people who make all those good things were under a fair contract so they can keep making them, but that's just me

We are ready to strike! We will strike if… … we’re not given the very basic things we’re asking for. Some protection AI. Some inflation money. Not asking for the world here. We signed up to be broke when we joined this industry. Just …. a little fairness and humanity.

If the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social does go on strike, I will not be writing anything new at @libertyballers.bsky.social or @lakerssbn.bsky.social after tomorrow until they get a fair contract. It's a good thing the NBA draft and free agency aren't rapidly approachin... oh.

Lots of awful things happening this week, but I'm still rooting for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social to secure a fair contract! Their win helps establish industry standard practices (basic job protections against AI, higher salary floors, layoff policies, etc.), and ensures a brighter future in media.

Our members at ITV America (Pawn Stars, Alone, The First 48) are fighting just to have management take negotiations seriously. Long delays, proposals that are below industry standards and refusal to respond is not bargaining in good faith. Fair contract now!

We're back at the bargaining table with ITV America, who has continually refused to negotiate in good faith. Our members working on beloved shows like Alone, Pawn Stars and The First 48 prove their worth season after season, & they deserve a contract that reflects their value.
