HAPPENING TONIGHT: We'll be passing out fliers in Anna Wintour's West Village neighborhood in support of our members at condeunion. Here's our advisory: nyguild.org/post/happening…

I can’t remember a journalist ever being arrested for doing his job in my 24 years of reporting in Austin.

We recommend it:

“The California Journalism Preservation Act is just the first of many bills that will be necessary to point out that this content-creation arrangement is unsustainable for workers — and also everyone else.”

if we’re not careful this whole damn country is gonna unionize and all the workers we’ve spent so long dehumanizing are gonna start demanding dignified lives and wages and you’re not gonna be able to make $50 mil a year for just being a CEO who sucks shit at your job anymore 😔

An utterly historic victory for the working class. Tennessee is shining bright tonight. We are in a new era.

Congratulations to the courageous workers in Chattanooga and the entire UAW. Absolutely heroic.

Solidarity IS the strategy - across the South, and all over the country.

BREAKING: New York State is first once again. When Governor Kathy Hochul signs the FY25 state budget, it will include the first in the nation funding to help revitalize newsrooms through an employment tax credit. Read more here in our joint press release.....

If your wages aren't keeping up with inflation, they're worth less than they used to be. And you're right to be pissed off about that.

Do you need a producer extraordinaire who also happens to have in depth experience across publication departments? Hit up Francesca!

According to IGN's Parody Chelsea Reed✨🪄, forming the IGNUnion has made her and her colleagues closer than ever. Hear more about IGN’s unionization process and its future on last week's episode of Real Time Strategy!

Google is blocking news sites in an attempt to bully California lawmakers out of requiring Google to share revenue from journalism with news outlets.

Undermining democracy has become Google's standard playbook.

Tax the rich.

You have a federally protected right to talk about your wages and anyone trying to give you trouble is breaking the law (and is also a big jerk)

NEW: California's journalists call on Google to stop silencing journalism on their platform.

'Google must stop playing games with California’s democracy.”

If you designed the sounds for the #Fallout game, you didn’t have a union.

But if you designed them for the TV show, you’re covered by a union contract with:
- multiemployer health & pension
- overtime & rest provisions
-minimum pay per job category
etc…

Is that fair?

I've been reading IGN for as long as I've had internet access, so of course I support the IGN Creators Guild.

Thank you again Parody Chelsea Reed✨🪄 for your time, enthusiasm, and mutual love for Twilight Princess!
