For #employeeappreciationday, McClatchy graciously offered its employees the opportunity to spend what little wages they get on overpriced merchandise.

You know what would make us feel actually appreciated? A livable wage. McClatchy should offer us one.

This is a great victory! Lake broke the law and she’s been damaging America’s reputation, safety and undermining important journalism. Very proud to be part of this lawsuit.

Union members at ACLU-DC have been fighting for close to 3 years for our first contract. This is unacceptable. We’re united in our demands for work-life balance, fair pay, and worker protections. Hear from our members firsthand on why we need a fair contract now. Union rights are civil rights.

PACK THE INBOX: Today we flooded email boxes of @nytimes.com management to let them know we are committed to all five of our priorities. We want to see them come to the table ready to negotiate seriously on all of them.

We're back at the table today and we're looking for management to engage with our proposals, instead of continuing to dismiss them.

Hey fellow ink-stained wretches*: If you're not already the sort of person who used to get accused of being foil-hat paranoid before the world showed you didn't go far enough, go to this! If you need it it'll happen suddenly so have the tools and a plan now.

Meet the union busters of The Washington Post!

Instead of following the law, Post management is pressuring Tech Guild members to accept defeat as they attempt to illegally lay off almost 30% of our unit (including most of our leadership team and bargaining committee).

Newswriter unions slam Baltimore Sun's trial use of AI to write high-profile news analyses Two news guild chairs — Dan Belson of the Baltimore Sun and Ariel Wittenberg of POLITICO/E&E, discuss the Baltimore Sun's trial use of AI to write two recent high-profile news analyses.

Unit chairs at @baltsunguild.bsky.social & @pen-guild.bsky.social joined @middayonwypr.bsky.social to talk about their outlets' use of AI.

AI can be a tool to support journalists, but news organizations have deployed it in unethical ways without a human behind it.
