The detention of a Guild member in Minnesota amidst the chaos created by DHS is heartbreaking and infuriating. My heart goes out to his family, who are now without their father and husband.

The NewsGuild strongly condemns FBI’s raid of Washington Post reporter’s home | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA “The Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Natanson’s property and personal devices,” the Post Guild said.

“Journalists have the right to do their jobs without fear of government interference,” said President Jon Schleuss.

“Today’s FBI raid on a journalist’s home is a direct assault on the 1st Amendment and a threat to every working journalist.

Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands Late Wednesday night, Condé Nast’s VP of Labor Relations notified the Guild that the Company was immediately terminating four Condé United leaders for engaging in the protected concerted activity of gathering in their 1 World Trade Center office to demand answers on this week’s abrupt layoffs at multiple brands including WIRED and the consolidation at Teen Vogue. These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participate in a collective action. Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company. Condé United members illegally fired are: Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit “Management’s attempt at union-busting, using intimidation and grossly illegal tactics to try to suppress protected union activity, will not stand,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “The NewsGuild of New York has zero tolerance for bad bosses who harass, target and disrespect our fellow Guild members. We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …

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.

CWA Statement on Executive Order Silencing Union Workers Last night, President Trump issued yet another illegal executive order targeted at workers’ freedom to form unions and bargain contracts.

Last night, President Trump issued yet another illegal executive order targeted at workers’ freedom to form unions and bargain contracts.
cwa-union.org/news/release...

Last night President Trump issued an unlawful Executive Order purporting to strip nearly two-thirds of the federal workforce of their collective bargaining rights. This illegal attack on roughly 700,000 federal workers and their unions is an assault on the entire labor movement and all American workers. It's not surprising that the billionaires in the Trump Administration hate unions. Unions are a bulwark against tyranny, both in the workplace and in civil society. Right now, federal union members are defending the American people from Elon Musk's reckless and unconstitutional dismantling of the federal government. [...]

And we know that these occurrences won’t stop with federal unions—the anti-union zealots in the Administration want every worker in America weak, isolated, disposable and at the mercy of their boss. The WGAE stands ready to join with our sibling unions and the broader labor movement to resist this attack on working people. We must stand together.

The following is a statement from Writers Guild of America East, AFL-CIO (WGAE), Executive Director Sam Wheeler:

CNN covers SPLC’s catastrophic decision to layoff its entire immigration staff in June.

SPLC says it did so because they want to focus on “broad, systematic issues.”

So why can’t SPLC executives explain how they plan to do so? www.cnn.com/2025/02/19/p...

A civil rights group that successfully defended migrant workers fired dozens of attorneys and staff. It leaves a huge void in immigration advocacy.

Unions Sue Treasury Department Over Giving Musk's 'DOGE' Access To Payment System Giving Elon Musk's team access to Treasury's payment systems amounts to a "massive and unprecedented" privacy intrusion, the complaint states.

Two massive unions have sued the Treasury Department for granting Musk's “Department of Government Efficiency” access to federal government payment systems.

SEIU and AFGE, with nearly 3 million combined members, are fighting DOGE's illegal activity.

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

Thank you!!!
