brilliant investigative piece on collusion in the chicken industry by brilliant friend Claire Brown (also A+ headline/visuals amalgam: "The Chicken Tycoons vs. the Antitrust Hawks") nytimes.com/2023/11/29/mag…

This week, in response to my reporting with Ella Koeze, legislators in the US Senate and the House introduced bills that could stop Wall Street from buying single family homes. nytimes.com/2023/12/06/rea…

Three hours until Washington Post workers start our 24-hour unfair labor practice strike at midnight Dec. 7. Don’t cross the picket line and don’t read The Washington Post.

Our 24-hour strike has begun. For the first time in 50 years, The Washington Post workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.

Today is the day! We are outside D.C. The Washington Post HQ fighting for a fair contract. Reminder: don’t engage with Post content today!

STRIKE AUTHORIZATION: 96% of Law360Union has voted to authorize a strike. Read our release here.... nyguild.org/post/strike-au…

Happy birthday to our tech workers! Two years after they won their election New York Times Tech Guild members still don’t have a contract. The company must stop delaying and bargain in good faith.

The return-to-office wars are over. Remote work has settled into a new normal in which a large share of college-educated people get to work from home some or all of the time -- and few others get the same luxury. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Lots more in today's story, which uses data from the Current Population Survey's invaluable new Telework supplement. Shoutout to the dream team of Emma Goldberg, our expert in all things remote work, and Ella Koeze, the best damn graphics wizard in the biz. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Proud to stand with my NYTimesGuild colleagues today in reminding New York Times executives that we haven't forgotten their disappointing decision to gut the paper's influential and historic sports desk.

Today our members are packing The New York Times management’s inboxes to let them know we have had enough of their firing and forcing out our members using unjust Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs)

So far in 2024 The New York Times management has increased its discipline of our members by 200% compared to 2022 and 2023 and is on track to triple the number of members put on PIPs and/or fired this year

The New York Times Two-thirds of the people fired from our unit have been from underrepresented groups: people of color, women, and/or people with disabilities. And we’ve seen members on visas have their lives thrown into chaos when their unfair firing puts their immigration status at risk

The New York Times We have had enough and we are letting management know: Stop the intimidation.

This amazing Ronda Kaysen + Ella Koeze piece is about NYC real estate, which is idiosyncratic, but captures so many broader trends: - intergenerational wealth transfer - changed math of cash v. mortgage - lock-out for buyers lacking cash nytimes.com/2024/07/06/ups…

In Manhattan real estate, cash is king, with all-cash buyers plucking up 64 percent of the homes that sold in April. Ella Koeze and I wanted to know who the cash buyers are, what they're buying and how they're doing it. nytimes.com/2024/07/06/ups…

Bittersweet that my last NYT Business piece is with the great Ben Casselman, in which we ask: where are there more jobs than 4 years ago? And where are there fewer? nytimes.com/interactive/20…

We are celebrating Labor Day by announcing that a supermajority of our over-600 person union signed a pledge of support for a strike. We have scheduled a strike authorization vote 🗳️ 🪧
