🚨 We've seen instances of people impersonating ProPublica reporters on Signal and over email. Reminder: Our reporters have their Signal handles listed on their bio pages. They will always have an active @propublica.org email address. ➡️ How to verify: #news-staff" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">propublica.org/staff#news-sta…

Today is the first day of bargaining for the 2026 Seattle Times contract! Our history at the Seattle Times is full of militant and brave news folks who knew their worth and fought hard to create better working conditions for themselves and their coworkers. (Seattle Times Strike 1953)

Making our return to Twitter for today’s lunchout by members of the Fort Worth NewsGuild! We withheld our labor to advocate for successorship & increased wages as we bargain with McClatchy for a new contract. We look forward to the company acknowledging the value of our labor.

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

And we are so honored to represent them! They are the first ever newsroom union in the state of Alaska :)

A huge welcome to our 65th union and our newest members from the @PWHLPA! We’re proud to bring the solidarity of 15 million workers to stand with the PWHLPA as they inspire the next generation of women’s ice hockey players and fight for what they deserve. aflcio.org/press/releases…

Mark your calendars to join the Fight this International Workers’ Day: Friday, May 1. More information and details to come! Follow along on seattlemayday.org

NEW: Anchorage Daily News staff becomes the first newsroom in Alaska to unionize and win a union contract! Congratulations to the @ancnewsguild and @PacNWGuild on this historic win ✊ newsguild.org/anchorage-dail…

That sounds good in theory but in practice that is not how it’s being used in newsrooms. Our fight with McClatchy is just one example but there are many more. The NewsGuild and journalists everywhere care about editorial integrity. Newspaper owners care about making money. cjr.org/feature/fight-…

The biggest "opportunity" AI presents to news publishers/owners/corporate goons is the cost savings from when they replace their reporters. And if you trust any of these empty suits to practice restraint, you just haven't been paying attention.

We are so proud to represent the first ever union newsroom in the state of Alaska! Congrats on their contract wins!

After decimating the organization, we are bargaining per our contract with management. We have featured testimonials from Post employees. Here’s some of them had to say. Here’s what these layoffs have done to us. #SaveThePost 🧵

We all want to Save The Post, want to do our jobs - but Vineet locked our members out of work platforms and the building this week. Shame on Vineet.

This is despicable. After attempting to lay off almost 80 of our members illegally, The Post's CTO Vineet Khosla has tried to co-opt the #SaveThePost hashtag used by Tech Guild and @postguild members, community members, readers, & supporters to push back against these cuts.

We were proud to join the labor community in Olympia today to support a tax on millionaires. It’s time for lawmakers to do the right thing and get this done!

So many have given to The Post Guild’s fundraising effort, and we are floored. But we also ask you to consider supporting the fundraiser for our international staff and staff in our bureaus who aren’t Guild eligible. They are absolutely vital to coverage. gofund.me/a325666b6

STRIKE READY: More than 80% of our @propublicaguild members have signed onto a pledge, saying they are ready to strike to win a fair contract. Now is the time @propublica -- stop stalling and agree to a fair contract including protections on AI --- NOW propublicaguild.org/updates/the-pr…
