“ProPublica can be extremely generous with its senior reporters,” says reporter Doug Bock Clark, “but for entry level people… they’re not getting paid enough.” We need contract language that ensures fair wages for all ProPublica employees.

Our union effort was covered by @TheNY_Groove - thanks for beautifully telling the city about our fight for sustainable pay, better benefits/healthcare + editorial integrity across amNY, QNS, BX Times, BK Paper, Brownstoner, Ll Press + more. Take a read! nygroove.nyc/schneps-media-…

We also made headlines in the @RedHookStar ! Thanks to this hyperlocal paper for detailing how much we all care about our work and why reporters behind the many Schneps outlets like amNY, BX Times, LI Press, QNS, need to have a say in their direction star-revue.com/schneps-report…

Journalism is not a crime. We strongly condemn the Justice Department subpoenas demanding journalists at The New York Times testify about their reporting on security concerns surrounding Air Force One. newsguild.org/newsguild-stro…

The @RacineNewsGuild is looking for help. As noted: "To stay financially afloat, several journalists are working second jobs, keeping their heat off during freezing Wisconsin winters, and one is driving a totaled car." Please send a message about fair pay: actionnetwork.org/letters/kenosh…

“I care most about a contract that will lift the salary floors of our lowest paid employees so that they can afford to live in the cities that we work in,” says research reporter Kirsten Berg. We deserve a fair contract now!

Tomorrow, July 9th, our union will be engaging in a one-day strike to send a clear message to management: all of our workers deserve a living wage and health care. Please join us on the picket line and rally with us at 1 PM.

Visuals editor Shoshana Gordon uses paints, brushes, easel and other art supplies in her home office. Doing her job “really wouldn’t be possible” if she had to report to an office. We need a flexible RTO policy so our colleagues can do their work where it makes the most sense.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Workers at the University of Chicago Press voted a whopping 89% in favor of unionizing with @ChiNewsGuild a day after workers at Hachette Book Group voted to unionize. newsguild.org/university-of-…

“I started about three months ago, right after I got laid off at the Washington Post,” says audio producer Sabby Robinson, “layoff protections are really important to me.” Our message to @propublica management: we need strong layoff protections in our contract!

We are THRILLED to welcome @HBGWorkers to WBNG as the largest union in trade publisher history! 🥳 In a landslide victory, 75% of ballots cast were in favor of forming a union. This is history in the making! wbng.org/2026/07/07/hac…

lf you want to add to this list, our DMs are open:

“I believe that all of my colleagues in every department … are doing invaluable work,” says office manager Liz Barr, “I don’t believe that any of them can be responsibly replaced with AI.” We deserve a contract that bars management from replacing workers with AI.

BREAKING NEWS: We have officially won our union election! #hachetteworkerscoalition 🎉

💪 ¡Gracias @gaufre, presidente del @newsguild -el sindicato de periodistas más grande de Estados Undos-, por el apoyo y el respaldo a la lucha de las y los trabajadores de prensa en Argentina por la defensa del Estatuto del Periodista!

“We have people living in areas with wildly different costs of living and currently our pay scales don’t really account for that,” says Texas-based reporter Zach Despart. All of our union members must make a living wage.

“In a media industry that's doing constant layoffs,” says senior YouTube producer Elizabeth Macaulay, “it means so much to know that you are secure in your workplace and that you can continue to do your best work.”

Unionized @Hearst Newspapers staff in Austin, Dallas, and across the country are fighting for fair contracts & respect! Solidarity with our Texas journalists and members of @AustinNewsGuild & @DallasNewsGuild! 💪

"Our journalists deserve to have input in how AI is deployed, and our readers deserve accurate, accountable journalism overseen by humans."-- Me in Vanity Fair.

Over 75% of our CapMetro/Keolis workers can’t afford to live in Austin — that’s shameful! We call on Keolis and CapMetro to pay the workers who run our city what they deserve. Support ATU Local 1091! #AustinWorkersDeserveBetter @KeolisNA @ATUComm @TexasAFLCIO @CapMetroATX
