Just Cause Donuts. 🍩 Just cause @CNET workers need & deserve it in our union contract. Just Cause is linchpin protection. It’s about fairness & due process. It’s standard in digital media shops & we’re telling @RedVentures we “donut” think at will employment is acceptable.

No more monkey business! Quit union busting! #wgaestrong
🚨🚨JUST IN: @Mailchimp and their parent company @Intuit asked @pineapplemedia leadership to sign a contract promising to make a new show with non-union labor. There’s just one problem: Pineapple is a union shop! 🚨🚨 theverge.com/2023/12/14/2400…

#Teamsters congratulate @WGAEast and @WGAWest writers on their militancy and unwavering solidarity, winning a tentative agreement after almost five months on strike! ✊✊✊ The #WGAstrike has inspired workers everywhere to stand up against corporate greed and anti-worker technology. #1u
The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAstrike

"Journalists are fighting to ensure that AI won't replace their jobs and that content produced with the help of AI tools meets journalistic standards." Thanks to @angelanfu for covering how newsroom unions, including ours, are taking a stand: poynter.org/business-work/20…

It’s alarming that @CNET & @RedVentures implemented a policy of purging older content mgmt deems “no longer relevant or helpful.” Though presented as improving the site's "domain authority and user experience,” Google denies such a strategy improves search engine rankings.

"Content pruning" is an insult to our hard work & an affront to CNET’s history of expert tech & culture coverage. Mgmt released its internal policy memo to the press before circulating it widely to CNET’s editorial teams. The policy still hasn’t been officially shared with us.

The CMWU is working to address @RedVentures' disregard for editorial integrity and its lack of meaningful disclosure regarding the mass removal of our content from the site.

“These strikes are happening … to set the precedent that AI must benefit everyone rather than being a terrifying inequality accelerator that throws millions out of work to enrich a lucky few … You have a stake in this fight.” 👀 @hamiltonnolan theguardian.com/commentisfre…
