Congrats Susan!

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions.

There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions.

Union membership means higher wages and better benefits.

Let’s grow the trade union movement.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan.

NEW YORK – Editorial workers at CNET and ZDNet are joining The NewsGuild of New York as members of the Ziff Davis Creators Guild (ZDCG). Late last year, Ziff Davis acquired both websites, which cover technology, reviews and beyond. CNET and ZDNet workers will be covered under ZDCG’s current contract, ratified last summer. Under the site’s former owner, Red Ventures, CNET content creators previously unionized as the CNET Media Workers Union affiliated with the Writers Guild of America East. “We’re thrilled that CNET and ZDNET folks will be joining us,” said Anna Iovine, unit chair of the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, which includes journalists at Lifehacker, Mashable, and PCMag. “They’ll be protected under just cause with no exceptions, along with the many other protections in our contract, and will receive guaranteed raises very soon.” “We're honored to be joining our friends in the ZDCG, who have demonstrated their commitment to fighting for and protecting workers' rights,” said Faith Chihil of CNET. “We're energized, excited and ready to continue building toward a legacy of fairness and equal opportunities for our union, using our combined powers.” ZDNET’s members said in a joint statement: "We are excited to join the other amazing brands in the ZDCG. We look forward to working with our colleagues to uphold our shared values and an equitable future together."

We're happy to share that CNET and ZDNET are joining ZDCG! We're proud that more media workers will be protected under our contract!!! 💪✊

We commend the court’s decision to uphold the integrity and independence of the NLRB by ordering Gwynne Wilcox to be returned to her seat. A president cannot undermine an independent agency by removing a member of the board because they disagree with them. aflcio.org/press/releas...

JUST IN: US judge reinstates Democratic labor board member fired by Trump reut.rs/3DybaJ0

Reuters: U.S. JUDGE REINSTATES DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, SAYS FIRING BY TRUMP WAS ILLEGAL

A blue background social media post that says: "As an organization dedicated to protecting press freedom and the public’s right to know, the Society of Professional Journalists strongly condemns the White House’s ongoing exclusion of Associated Press journalists from press events based on government discontent with AP’s editorial decisions. This is not just a press issue — it is an issue for all Americans regardless of their politics. When government officials control which journalists can cover them, they control the narrative, making it easier to hide the truth, avoid accountability, silence dissent and conceal wrongdoing. The press does not exist to serve those in power; it exists to serve the people."

SPJ strongly condemns the White House’s ongoing exclusion of @apnews.com journalists.

Every American should be concerned when those in power attempt to reshape media access to serve their own interests.

A quote "The solidarity of a union lifts us all up!" with red heart shaped balloons and the Dotdash Meredith Union logo.

Happy Valentine's Day. The solidarity of a union lifts us all up! #Solidarity #1Union #UnionYes

Elon Musk’s Business Empire Scores Benefits Under Trump Shake-Up Government investigations into Mr. Musk’s companies are stalling amid President Trump’s firings and Biden administration resignations.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights.

But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases.

See how this works?

Following Trump's purge of its pro-worker leadership, the NLRB has reportedly dropped its opposition to a SpaceX lawsuit arguing the agency itself is unconstitutional.

The richest man in the world is getting a solid return on his $290M investment in Trump.

Thank you to the thousands of readers, supporters, friends, and subscribers who signed our solidarity pledge. @nymagunion.bsky.social is another reason to love New York!

On the same day we reached an agreement, our members closed a juicy cover story about just how many people in NYC live off of their parents. Now we have a deal that helps create a workplace where the most talented people, no matter their circumstances, can build careers.

- Limits around the company’s use of AI, including using our members’ voices and likenesses

- A provision that prevents layoffs due solely to the use of AI

- Enhanced severance of an additional 4 weeks in the case of layoffs due in part to AI

Among our wins:

-Increased minimum salaries for all positions between 9 and 10%

-General wage increases between 4.25% and 4.75% upon ratification retroactive to April 2024

-General wage increases between 3.25% and 2.75% for 2025 and 2026

-A $1500 ratification bonus for every member

WE HAVE A DEAL

Last week, @nymagunion.bsky.social reached a tentative agreement with New York Magazine and Vox Media. We could not be prouder of our members who made it clear they were ready to withhold their labor if Vox Media didn’t meet them with a fair contract.
