Yesterday, our @insiderunion colleagues marched on global editor-in-chief Nicholas Carlson to demand he and other members of Insider management bargain with us about massive proposed changes to the newsroom. How did we get here? 🧵A thread…

Last week Insider announced last-minute changes to our company structure. After we took action, they agreed to meet and bargain over these proposed changes. We've whittled down our requests to ONE demand: Immediately remove the threat of discipline from our metrics system.

lemme tell ya about the WEEK i just had lmfao

Hi Nicholas Carlson, sorry we missed you today! We left you some valentines and an invitation to join us at bargaining on Thursday. What we’d really love ASAP in 2023 is a contract with just cause, guaranteed raises, and more — don’t leave us brokenhearted! 💘

i am TIRED

how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man????

NEWS: Hundreds of Insider staffers plan to walk off the job tomorrow for 24 hours over the company’s proposed layoffs. “Maybe we just have to take our value away and maybe [management will] recognize it then,” a steward told me tonight. My story: thedailybeast.com/hundreds-of-in…

if you don’t like this i think that makes you a cornball???? idk scab behavior tbh

🚨 ALERT: Insider wants to lay off 60 of us, and based on the info mgmt has given us, half of the Black members of our union are on their proposed list.

THIS JUST IN: More than 80% of our members say they’re ready to vote YES to authorize a strike! ✊🔥 More than 230 members have agreed: We’re serious about going on strike if management keeps playing with our colleagues' jobs and our contract.

We’re ready to STRIKE! 🪧 Yesterday our unit took a strike authorization vote, and 94% voted YES, giving our bargaining committee the power to call a strike. Our unit is ready to fight Insider’s illegal healthcare changes, secure a strong contract, and protect our colleagues.

Hey Henry Blodget Nicholas Carlson — Happy weekend! But it's day 3 of our ULP strike and we're still waiting for better contract proposals and a fair settlement to your illegal healthcare changes. Can't wait to see you tomorrow at the table!!

hey Nicholas Carlson i get that it’s summer, but that’s no excuse to be absent from negotiations! if i can be striking and attending bargaining 500+ miles away from NYC on my vacation, you sure can too!
