The Fort Worth NewsGuild unanimously ratified a contract after two years of bargaining and 24 days of striking.
We could not have done this without the enormous support we saw from across the country, and we thank you all for fighting with us.

The staff at The New York Times are fighting for a living wage and fair pay — something that is not so radical when the company just approved $150 million in stock buybacks for its investors.

NEW: These workers are taking on two of the biggest union-busters in America.
Starbucks and Amazon joined forces to exploit workers together at their hybrid store. Workers do two jobs for no extra pay.

Our union is proud to support our newsroom colleagues today. But there are so many Times Guild workers who aren't journalists and do vital work to keep our workplace running — from security guards to IT to ad sales reps. They deserve better pay too!

We think management needs to conduct a bargaining learning review. Here's what they should take away:
- STOP stalling at every term
- STOP avoiding answering hard questions
- STOP underestimating our collective strength

From NYC comptroller : "Diversity, equity and inclusion is not a brand strategy. Its a fundamental agreement with your workforce. They are fundamental union issues. It is how we create and share value."

"This is the first chance I had to bargain for my working conditions. Its that same spirit in my family that I joined the union. Everyone of us deserves a livable wage. "We want a 65k salary floor for all guild positions."

From : "I am truly honored to stand in solitary with 1100 of my guild colleagues today. I come from a long line of union members and activists. ... They believed that workers should have a seat at the table. I didn't have a union until I came to the New York Times. "

From the rally: "This fight is not easy. A work stoppage is not easy... One of the beautiful parts of our union is that we are standing up for both workers and journalism. We do our best work when we are treated equitably."

The Times blames our culture of open bargaining -- where all members of a union are welcome to observe bargaining sessions -- for why negotiations have been stalled. Everyone who will be affected by the decisions made at the bargaining table should be privy to those discussions.

Solidarity with NYT employees
I fear that NYT publisher AG Sulzberger is getting very bad advice from the NYT's high-priced lawyers at Proskauer. It's hurting his image, the Times' image & worker morale
It's wrong & insulting for the Times to offer raises so far below inflation twitter.com/greenhousenyt/…

But management still barely budged on some of our most important priorities. The company is stuck on paltry pay increases, eroding the minimum pay scales for new hires and contributing less to our health care fund than they currently do.

There was good news and bad news after 12 hours of bargaining yesterday. Our collective action is working: Management backed off its attempt to kill our pension and agreed to expand fertility benefits.
