Marshall Project Guild

🚨Exciting news from @MarshallProj Our nonprofit newsroom is unionizing! We have united to form Marshall Project Guild, part of nyguild.org Together, we're committed to preserving the best of our newsroom and securing a future for our staff, work, and readership.

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: gofundme.com/f/support-prop…

🗓️ THIS THURSDAY: We are hosting an AI Town Hall to hear from journalists who are fighting for HUMAN-driven news that's not robot-generated slop. Join us tomorrow and register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Workers from journalism to tech and beyond are facing management-driven AI schemes to degrade our work and sloppify our craft. workersdecide.tech has collected resources to help us push back ✊ #newsnotslop

HELP THE FIRED FOUR: It's #GivingTuesday -- consider donating to our @condeunion and @newyorkerunion members who were illegally fired by union-busting @CondeNast gofundme.com/f/support-the-…

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.

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

“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....

Workers CAN regulate AI with strong contract language. Full stop. Unionized journalists just proved this at POLITICO. @penguild

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.

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:

🚨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.

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.

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 👇

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. propublicaguild.org/updates/progre…

@WBNG32035 @MarshallProj Thank you!

@TMPGuild @MarshallProj Congrats!! 🥳

INCREDIBLE NEWS: We have made an agreement with the leadership of @MarshallProj and we are officially a union! We are so excited to begin working toward our first contract.

#BREAKING: The Marshall Project is officially unionized. Our leadership voluntarily recognized the Marshall Project guild, and now we'll bargain with them over working conditions. Do you work in media? Do you want to unionize? Get in touch. We love to talk shop.

👋Also meet @ByChrisVazquez, an audience engagement producer at TMP. Together, we’re creating a bright future for our newsroom!

👋Staff writer Joseph Neff highlights the strength of unity Marshall Project Guild will provide.

🚀Launched in 2014, The Marshall Project has grown, opening local newsrooms in Jackson, Mississippi, and Cleveland, Ohio. With that growth, we recognize the challenges facing the journalism industry. We're committed to navigating these challenges together.
