We know from personal experience that this decision was not taken lightly. @NYTGuildTech believes deeply in the mission of The Times and we believe in them. They have our backs everyday to help produce world class journalism. Today, and every day, we stand with @NYTGuildTech ✊

After our Bargaining Committee continued to push for a fair contract over the weekend, management still refused to get serious and make a deal. Therefore, we are going on a ULP strike. See you on the picket line ✊ nytimes.com/2024/11/04/bus…

I work for the Southern California News Group. I’m not expecting Anthony Rendon money although I’ve had a better year than Rendon has had.

In the first authorization for an open-ended strike ever taken by journalists at a newsroom owned by the secretive Alden Global Capital, the Southern California News Group union today announced its members have voted overwhelmingly in favor of striking. #SaveSoCalNews

Sedona Prince is a plaintiff in House v. NCAA case, but she admits unease about its effect on women. "That’s the scary part, right? We’re leaving it up to the schools to make these choices, and who says they’re not going to give 100 percent to football?" nytimes.com/2024/08/29/us/…

3,040 pages of transcripts, 21 days of testimony, more than 150 exhibits. The long NLRB hearing to determine whether USC football and basketball should be classified as employees is done but the case is far from resolved. nytimes.com/2024/04/22/us/…

There was off-the-court drama wherever you turned over the weekend. Trash talk, call outs, nose rings and a tape-measure moment. Then on Monday night in Albany, they just played basketball. And it wasn't bad. nytimes.com/2024/04/02/us/…

There may be no better example of the shifting views on the role of money — and whether student-athletes should get any — than my alma mater ⁦@SMU⁩ ⁦@SMUMustangs⁩ nytimes.com/2024/03/30/bus…

Arguably @kentbabb has stronger grounds to file a defamation lawsuit against Mulkey, based on the comments she made about him in her press conference.
Michael McCann@McCannSportsLaw

As LSU advances past UCLA, the fallout of the Washington Post article on Kim Mulkey remains to be seen. But I don't see likely grounds for a defamation lawsuit & I think it would be risky for Mulkey (given anti-SLAPP statute + pretrial discovery) to sue: sportico.com/law/analysis/2….
