The Onion Union's contract expires at midnight tonight. We are committed to bargaining in good faith and securing a fair contract for our talented and hardworking members.

With three days left of bargaining, management refused to be physically present during in-person sessions. We can think of no greater indignity than having to look employees in the eye when they are nothing more than faceless numbers representing wasted cost on a spreadsheet.

Today, The Onion Union and its allies distributed flyers outside our Chicago, NYC, and LA offices. We regret wasting time in the physical world when we should be creating digital content to be clogged with ads and SEO terms designed to game search engines.

This morning, our sister union GMG (with whom we share our offices and beloved CEO) defaced their desks with filthy pro-union signs showing their support. We demand that G/O Media management take down these acts of solidarity as soon as possible!

As America's Finest News Source for the past 258 years, The Onion could not have made it here without the managerial prowess of G/O Media, whose trailblazing strategy of blanketing webpages in blaring advertisements has led the digital media industry to where it stands today.

The Onion applauds its owner, G/O Media, for its many savvy business decisions that have driven away all but our most loyal readers. We prefer an audience faithful enough to go through hell and back to access our reportage.

The Onion applauds its parent company, G/O Media, for its targeted termination of the many irksome editors who impede perpetual content churn with their insistence upon fact-checking and copyediting.

The Onion has long reported on the many valuable contributions of CEOs within their respective industries. As we bargain for a new contract, we can't help but be reminded of the many great CEOs who have led the way with their cruelty, greed, and bloodlust.
