As someone who doesn’t speak Spanish, I feel like if you didn’t like the halftime show you just are telling me you have no rhythm.

My hips transcend language.

A month ago, we proposed a salary floor of $90k to management, citing our costs of living, RNG’s wage disparities, and the fact that most of us worked second jobs in the last year to make ends meet.

Yesterday, management countered—with a salary floor of $60k.

Since we last shared an update on bargaining, we’ve received additional information about management salaries at Rewire.

The TLDR: The pay discrepancy between management and union members is deeply unsettling.

Management keeps touting a new era of RNG, and we’re excited to be part of that. But they continue to ask us to take on more work without offering appropriate compensation. We’re asking them to show up to the table in good faith and get serious about addressing RNG’s historic pay equity issues.

🧵 We’ve been bargaining with management for the *entire* summer, and we wanted to give y’all an update. (Spoiler: No, we don’t have a tentative agreement.)

A must read from @dohamadani.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We’re prioritizing dignity & being valued as we enter bargaining. We ask for respect as employees. At last week’s offsite, mgmt presented RNG values, incl respect. But management’s long been held to different standards. One leader publicly insults us in several posts — while making ~2x our salaries.

Union member holds up a sign saying FAIR CONTRACT TODAY.

Hello Bluesky!

Tuesday, after an overwhelming 94% ratification vote, we secured the FIRST union contract for the digital newsrooms of NBC News, NBC News Now and the TODAY Show.

We are proud of the work we do, and we're excited to continue that work with the protections of a strong first contract.

I found this such a fascinating read. I love that Kat can still teach me things even if we aren't working together.

A 10-year-old Philadelphia boy who protected his sister when an air ambulance crashed in the city might not be able to go to the Super Bowl victory parade, but he did get a personal visit from Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown in the hospital.

Legally the entire Eagles offense has to show up to Abbott Elementary after winning the Super Bowl.

I spent four years investigating these sorts of claims.

Children aren’t being taught they’re inherently victims or oppressors. Teachers aren’t leading kids to change genders.

Instead these claims are used as a pretext to sanitize history curricula and impose conservative Christian ideas in schools
