Layoffs have begun. Around 3AM PT, members of Daily Kos Guild were notified that they were laid off via email. At the same time, our @PMWG union rep received notice that our -aversion proposal had been rejected in full.

Over 200 NBC News, MSNBC, and TODAY journalists are walking off the job tomorrow.

NBC has repeatedly broken the law, disrespected the rights of its employees, and illegally terminated hard-working union journalists. Enough is enough.

I know we have been silent for a while, but trust us, it’s because we were trying to get a contract.

Management on the other hand, wants to continue making RAICES Texas workers struggle even more.

Last year we filed complaints that Washingtonian broke federal labor law when it unilaterally ended some Covid protections in our office and required remote employees to move to the DC area. The feds are issuing a formal complaint against Washingtonian.

In the last six months, Gannett has laid off or bought out almost every journalist at the St. Cloud Times, a newspaper covering a metro area of 200,000. In May, there were 9 employees — by January, only one reporter was left.

Now, there are 0. My story: axios.com/local/twin-cit…

Today, The Washington Post laid off 20 of our colleagues.

While 20 is much smaller than 200 — “a single digit percentage of the workforce,” as Publisher Fred Ryan indicated, that’s little consolation to those who lost their jobs today.

That number should be zero.

Solidarity with the Saturday Night Live - SNL editorial crew!

NBCUniversal is making a union-busting habit of slow walking first contracts.

We're also fed up with the company’s refusal to respond to proposals and their utter lack of respect.

Here’s a brief history of NBC’s bad behavior ⬇️

Let’s be clear: When companies claim a “poor economic climate” as the reason for mass layoffs (often hastily executed) they never mention the bloated executive salaries or millions spent on stock buybacks. Companies CAN and SHOULD answer to their workers, not their shareholders.

NBC Management decided to lay off an entire show just to post an entire show’s worth of job openings two days later.

We're fighting back against the illegal decision to terminate seven of our colleagues.

NBC News asked for an after-the-fact bargaining session, but their lawyers showed up empty-handed. No managers attended, but we did!

When I took my job at Daily Kos, I was glad to hear they voluntarily recognized the union but every action they've taken since then has been dismissive, hostile, or bad faith. Please spare a minute to boost this.

If Daily Kos management isn't claiming economic exigency, these layoffs would be illegal and NewsGuild-CWA will fight like hell alongside Daily Kos Guild PacificMediaWorkers

No layoffs until you get a first contract!

We asked for humane severance for Post employees laid off during the holidays. Management left us at the bargaining table.

We summarized today's bargaining session in this thread. twitter.com/PostGuild/stat…
