From the WGAW Board: "The last year has seen an alarming escalation in hate crimes directed toward Asian Americans. The Writers Guild of America West denounces and condemns these violent and racist acts." (1/3)

Unions give workers a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, benefits, and essential rights. We stand with BAmazonUnion and urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. #bamazonunion wga.org/news-events/ne…

We applaud Rep. Bobby Scott & the House of Reps for passing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act. The #PROAct will return power to workers, reversing decades-old assaults on workers’ rights, perpetuated by existing labor laws & resulting in unprecedented levels of inequality. 1/3

CA's #NetNeutrality law means AT&T can no longer exempt its own streaming service, HBO Max, from data usage caps. This is good – AT&T shouldn’t be able to tip the scales in favor of content that it owns at the expense of other content our members create. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

We have high expectations for Marty Walsh, the first #union leader in decades confirmed as secretary of the Department of Labor. We hope he hits the ground running to both restore worker protections the last administration dismantled and pursue a pro-worker agenda. #1u

Amazon’s deal to buy #MGM makes clear the absolute urgency of #antitrust reform. #Amazon is already under Congressional scrutiny for anticompetitive actions across its empire of vertically integrated businesses. (1/3)

"Waves of mergers in this industry – approved by regulators or the courts – have put a handful of companies in control of what stories writers are allowed to tell and what viewers are allowed to watch," Adam Conover at today's FTC #MergerForums: kvgo.com/ftc/doj-merger…

"With fewer employers competing for our labor, they can more easily hold down our wages and set onerous terms for our employment." kvgo.com/ftc/doj-merger… #MergerForums

"My earnest plea is that the next time our governmental agencies review a merger, they ask the question 'Whose voices will this merger silence? Which ideas will never reach our ears? Whose stories will the public never get to see?'" Adam Conover kvgo.com/ftc/doj-merger…
