Workers at The Post deserve better. Shame on Post CEO Will Lewis and shame on management's firing of dozens of employees just days into the new year.

Thank you @wbng.org for raising awareness to the fact that Color Of Change is trying to follow through with a 4th(!) round of layoffs. Join us in demanding that COC stop union busting! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Instead of agreeing to a contract and entering the Trump era with an energized and secure workforce ready to push back on anti-Black racism COC is pushing out dedicated workers and paying lawyers big bucks to avoid paying wrongfully terminated workers

Alicia Garza once said, "If we perpetuate the same dynamics we aim to disrupt, we're not creating change." Yet as a COC board member, she hasn't addressed leadership's fund mismanagement, leading to 4 layoffs. COC needs #Accountability to fulfill its mission.

@proftriciarose.bsky.social offered support to the employees of Walmart when they were looking to unionize but as a board member at COC she failed to exercise her oversight which resulted in illegal layoffs and a hostile work environment.. 👋👋👋We want #ACCOUNTABILITY #NoJusticeNoPeace

Hello Bluesky. Sucks that this is our first post. A statement from the Vox Media Union and @wgaeast.bsky.social on today's layoffs. Please stay tuned for more details on how you can support our colleagues who were impacted today.
Today, we were blindsided by news from Vox Media management that many of our colleagues at Thrillist and Eater would lose their jobs. We are devastated to lose writers and editors who produce invaluable work each and every day, and disgusted by Vox Media’s short-sighted decision making. As always, it is the workers who bear the brunt of management’s poor choices, and this close to the holidays, their callousness is especially galling. 

We are incredibly disappointed by management’s decision to decimate Thrillist, a vertical that it has invested almost nothing in since acquiring it from Group Nine. As we have made clear to management with our demand for One Union, One Contract, the WGAE-Vox Media Union views our colleagues at Thrillist as members of our union, and we will make sure that they are made whole in light of management’s decision to essentially shutter this beloved publication. 

Many of those impacted by today’s layoffs work on Eater’s Cities team, a group of powerhouse journalists who produce some of the most impactful local journalism in the country. Their work has always differentiated Eater and built it into the country’s most prominent food website, and management’s treatment of these workers is both irresponsible and reflects a complete lack of understanding of the journalism that is needed in this moment. We need more boots on the ground doing this essential work, not fewer. 

As always, the Guild will continue to demand that members are treated fairly in the aftermath of layoffs. As we approach the upcoming negotiations for our third collective bargaining agreement, we want to make abundantly clear to management that the status quo of constant, cyclical layoffs will not continue. We will fight like hell to ensure that our industry has a future, no matter how many times those in charge attempt to run it into the ground. 

Details on how you can support laid off workers at Vox Media will be forthcoming. Solidarity forever.

If you believe that: COC should stop unfairly targeting and retaliating against union employees and should stop paying executive allowances or golden parachutes to unethical “leaders”. Sign our petition to let management and the board know you stand with us. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

If you believe that: Color Of Change should immediately stop all actions that are contrary to their stated mission. COC should stop appealing the NLRB ruling and ensure all impacted employees are made whole.

Enough is enough. If you believe that: All employees should have the right to a safe working environment and fair wages, including equal pay for equal work. COC should start providing increased economic and career opportunities to ALL employees, not just senior management.

But who is paying the price for the continued financial mismanagement of a president more concerned about his social status than the organization’s stability? The Answer: Union Employees.

…and prepared a six-figure severance for the president and leader of Color Of Change, Rashad Robinson, whom employees overwhelmingly demanded to step down in October 2024, all while publicly stating they are facing financial instability.

Every step of the way, COC’s management and its various board members have pushed back by gutting union membership, targeting and retaliating against union employees, and nearly bringing negotiations to a halt.

A fair contract would improve employee morale and reduce the high rates of turnover resulting from talented, hard-working staff making their exodus out of an unstable workplace.

For over three years, the Color Of Change Union has negotiated in good faith, seeking a fair contract to improve the economic and working conditions of its members.

In each round, the collateral has been bargaining unit members, specifically those who are leading negotiations with COC’s management. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This announcement comes on the heels of the National Labor Relation Board (NLRB) ruling that Color Of Change violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when they unlawfully laid off 49 union employees in their first three rounds of layoffs, conducted in 2023. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
