Solidarity with our @CPJ_union members fighting for a fair contract that protects the future of their critical work. Fair contract now, @pressfreedom!
🚨 TOMORROW: CPJ Union will be back at the bargaining table with CPJ management in pursuit of a fair contract.
Major issues include:
- Fair compensation
- AI policies that protect our staff + work
We are fighting for a sustainable, human-led future. Will CPJ management join us?
CPJ Union retweeted
My @pressfreedom colleagues & I @CPJ_union fight everyday to protect journalists under threat from abusive forces.
Our efforts receive widespread appreciation and acclaim.
If we are forced to strike due to unfair labor conditions who will do this critically important work?
Our members at @cpj_union are fighting for a fair contract with @pressfreedom.
After their contract expired on March 31st, 100% of members signed onto a strike pledge to show management we’re prepared to do what it takes to win strong union protections. ⏰

🕵️♀️Here's one thing you can't keep secret...NDAs are bad for workers and transparency! @CPJ_union stands with the @WGAEast & all workers fighting to win union contracts eradicating NDAs that protect those in power who harass or discriminate in the workplace. #NoNDAs

After two and a half years of contract negotiations, we are on the verge of a strike. Send @condenast and @newyorker management a note to let them know you stand in solidarity with us as we continue to fight for fair wages and a fair contract: speakout.newyorkerunion.com/
As staff at the Committee to Protect Journalists, we've seen firsthand how often journalists, especially women, are targeted for harassment online for their reporting and personal views. Media and press freedom organizations have an obligation to stand with their journalists.

We, the freelance employees of Jigsaw Productions, are excited to announce that the overwhelming majority of us have signed union cards and decided to organize with the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE). @JigsawProds
The demands from the writers at
@thechaseabc are not only reasonable, but absolutely NECESSARY. Healthcare and equitable pay should not be up for debate during a global pandemic.
Earlier today, @ITV / @WeAreITVA / @itvstudios put out a statement on the strike @thechaseabc. We have a few questions… #1u
![A quiz-show-style Q&A screen, with two possible answers. Q: ITV Entertainment claims they proposed a package of “generous overscale pay increases” for writers. What did they propose? 1) Generous, overscale pay increases. 2) Lesser pay than production executives had already promised the writers weeks ago – for fewer weeks than is contractually guaranteed on a show like “Jeopardy” or “The Weakest Link.” [correct answer: #2]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExSE5AhWgAMQ2dD.jpg?name=orig)

Today, we learned that 33 of our unit members — nearly 30% of our unit — are being laid off. Our union's statement: "We are devastated and infuriated, particularly after an exhausting year of covering a pandemic and working from home." (1/x)
We at @CPJ_union stand in solidarity with our colleague and fellow union member @sherifmnsour.
The Egyptian government accuses him and his father of "membership in a terrorist organization" and has detained his cousin, Reda Abdelrahman, since August. cpj.org/?p=84757
The Egyptian government's jailing of Reda and lobbing baseless accusations at Sherif and his father in the US is part of a broader pattern: targeting activists abroad by retaliating against their family members in Egypt.

"After managing to silence everyone else inside the country, controlling media organizations' editorial lines and forcing many people into exile, they are trying to pressure those of us who managed to escape and seek a safe haven" @sherifmnsour
