🚨WE HAVE A DEAL! After three years, in a major step forward for our members, we have ratified our first contract with @npub1qmg…s6k5’s management. We deeply appreciate everyone who supported us along the way.
Here are some of our big wins👇

“As a video journalist for ProPublica my job requires me to travel a ton,” says Katie Campbell, “A rigid return to office policy does not make any sense.”
We’re fighting for an RTO policy that preserves flexibility so our members can keep doing their best work.

“ProPublica is … a shining light in a very troubled journalism industry,” says reporter Anna Barry-Jester, but “management is refusing to agree to basic layoff protections.”

It’s been three years since we formed our union. We still don’t have a contract.
Over the next few weeks, you’ll be hearing from us — the workers of @npub1qmg…s6k5 — on why this contract is so important and the issues about which we care deeply.

1/ Today, we filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board over @npub1qmg…s6k5 management’s unilateral implementation of an AI policy without first bargaining with our union. Of note, the policy provides no job protections to our members.

“We need guardrails against AI right now.” Our unit is ready to strike as we fight for a fair contract that includes job security, AI protections and fair wages. To help our members make ends meet, donate to our strike fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-propublica-workers-for-fair-contracts

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @npub1qmg…s6k5 management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.
