rereading annie dillard's "total eclipse," one of my all-time favorite essays, in her memory: cyberspacerobinson.org/courses/cw1/...

Early that morning at 6, when we had checked out, the six bald men were sitting on folding chairs in the dim hotel lobby. The television was on. Most of them were awake. You might drown in your own spittle, God knows, at any time; you might wake up dead in a small hotel, a cabbage head watching TV while snows pile up in the passes, watching TV while the chili peppers smile and the moon passes over the sun and nothing changes and nothing is learned because you have lost your bucket
and shovel and no longer care. What if you regain the surface and open your sack and find, instead of treasure, a beast which jumps at you? Or you may not come back at all. The winches may jam, the scaffolding buckle, the air conditioning collapse. You may glance up one day and see by your headlamp the canary keeled over in its cage. You may reach into a cranny for pearls and touch a moray eel. You yank on your rope; it is too late.

Some updates from the bargaining table! Thanks to the continued action of our workers, we’ve achieved agreements in bargaining while maintaining focus on our fight for Just Cause and quality, affordable healthcare. We also continued to press on questions about healthcare costs. Read more ⬇️

Last Wednesday we presented two counters, both of which management returned during the session along with one additional counter. Ultimately, we reached three Tentative Agreements at the table, which brings our total of finalized proposals to 15. Thanks to the continued action of our workers both at the table in working groups and through actions like our recent email reply-all, we’ve been able to achieve agreements in bargaining while maintaining focus on our fight for Just Cause and getting quality, affordable healthcare. Speaking of which, we also continued to press on questions about healthcare costs.

🦺🚫🪪 Three TAs!
We were able to reach TAs on three proposals: Workplace Health & Safety, Prevention of Discrimination and Harassment, and Work Authorization. We’re pleased to report that all the language proposed by unit members in our health and safety working group was accepted in this proposal — extremely grateful for the expertise and thoughtful consideration of our working group members!

🌎 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We received a counter from management to the DEI proposal that our working group members put down last session. We’ve seen some progress here (thank you, DEI working group members!): The company has accepted some of our language around demographic groups. Significantly, the company has accepted language about endeavoring to implement “mutually agreeable reasonable solutions” from TMP’s DEI committee – In previous iterations of this proposal, management made no commitments to working with the DEI committee on any of their recommendations. The company has agreed to provide our Guild DEI committee with self-reported demographic data from applicants to open TMP positions so that we can assess whether we’re achieving a diverse applicant pool. Despite this incremental progress, the Company refuses to enshrine a commitment to actively recruit and interview candidates from underrepresented groups and share demographic data about who is interviewed and ultimately hired.

We’ll review this counter with the DEI working group and determine a response.

📝 Performance Reviews
We received a counter from management that accepted some of the language in our last proposal, but maintains management’s commitment to use performance reviews as potential discipline. In the Guild’s proposal, performance reviews are separate from the disciplinary process (which should be outlined under Just Cause), and are instead a place for managers and workers to collaborate on goals and growth.

The company’s desire to keep the door open to discipline in performance reviews comes back to their stance on Just Cause, and their disinclination to agree to a dedicated process of progressive discipline that’s clear and transparent. Workers deserve clear delineation on which interactions are disciplinary in nature and which are not; a stance where any form of communication can be potentially disciplinary, whether the employee knows it or not (or even after the fact), puts all workers at risk.

We’ll review this counter and consider our next steps, especially in concert with our fight for Just Cause.

🚑 Healthcare
After we asked management to account for their decision-making share basic information around the extreme healthcare changes at TMP, and negotiate with us as is their legal duty at our last bargaining session, we followed up asking for data on TMP’s spending on healthcare last year and their projected spending for this year based on our unit’s healthcare elections under the new plans, such as they are. The findings were shocking to us. Based on the data the company provided, management is actually saving $92,115.84 based on current projections. When we confirmed these numbers at the table today, neither management’s counsel nor our CFO disputed them.

Eddie’s reasoning is that “I wouldn’t say we’re saving” because the company still has open positions and depending on what healthcare elections those potential future employees make, healthcare spend may increase. We don’t know what the timeline will be on those hires, or what those employees’ healthcare elections will be. What we do know is that right now, not only are employees being forced to absorb the price increase of the healthcare plan that management elected to keep us on despite having cheaper options available, but the company is actually saving money due to members opting for diminished plans as our coworkers are having to reschedule major surgeries and seeing their premiums double.

We’ll return to the table at a yet-to-be-determined date in September, when we’ll likely see a counter on Just Cause from management and will also likely have an updated quote for an alternative healthcare option from UFW, though it’s unlikely to be as much of a cost savings as the quote we secured last year. We’ll see you at the table next month, and in the meantime will continue working together on demanding healthcare coverage that prioritizes members’ health, not the company’s bank account.

We put down our counterproposal for fair Just Cause this week with the majority of our unit at the table to support it — but not our CEO, who declined to attend bargaining. Read our full bargaining update for more, including the shocking healthcare increases we're being asked to shoulder:

We returned to bargaining on Monday to present the fair Just Cause counterproposal the workers of TMP deserve – many of those same workers came to the table in support. This proposal is foundational to our contract and absolutely critical to our members. It’s disappointing that while many of us (almost 70% of our unit!) made the effort to attend, our CEO did not. We are deeply invested in the future of TMP, and the Just Cause language we codify in our final contract has serious implications for that future. We invited Katrice to this session both in our previous shop paper and in follow up communications in the hopes that she, as the leader of the company’s long-term strategy and vision, would be a part of the conversation around Just Cause and listen directly to our concerns and demands. Management’s counsel, Eddie, declined on her behalf.

Throughout the bargaining session, Eddie cited hypothetical scenarios, rather than directly addressing the working conditions at TMP. It would have been both productive and effective to instead speak with Katrice to address these scenarios with real context and specifics. Eddie repeatedly clarified that he, as the lead spokesperson of management’s bargaining committee, discusses and evaluates all proposals directly with senior leadership including our CEO.

Management argues that our unique unwritten editorial guidelines make us an exception to industry-standard fair Just Cause. In reality, this argument protects their ability to invent and arbitrarily enforce those guidelines to then discipline and discharge workers as they see fit. What management fails to acknowledge is that the tenets of Just Cause embody the mission of our organization, the legacy of Thurgood Marshall, and the stories we tell. Fair Just Cause is the standard of fairness that we deserve in return.

Following our Just Cause counter, we asked questions about the tumultuous state of healthcare and pressed management on the status of our Quotas and Metrics pr…

✊ Just Cause / “Discipline and Discharge”
Our initial Just Cause proposal – which relied on the industry-standard language “there shall be no discipline or dismissal without just and sufficient cause,” used by newsrooms including The New York Times, Reuters, and the Chicago Tribune – was countered by management with an alarming response in March. Their counter included loopholes allowing them to combine or even skip disciplinary steps and placed an incredibly high burden of proof on employees in the arbitration process, effectively making workers guilty until proven innocent. This is a regressive process, one that we rejected with our new counterproposal on Monday. Our counter enumerates the acceptable steps of progressive discipline and clarifies communication expectations. At its core, the counter relies on the seven tests of Just Cause. These tests already give supervisors the clear ability to discipline and terminate workers, as long as they follow due process. Management’s attempt to codify loopholes and undefined guidelines on top of these long-established legal tests is an unacceptable attempt to retain enormous subjective power to discipline and discharge workers. We remain committed to fair Just Cause and call on management to do the same.

🚑 Healthcare
As you’re all aware, the cost of our United Health Care insurance plans provided by TriNet have increased for the second year in a row and the burden is being shouldered by employees. While we understand that the landscape of healthcare in America is complex, it’s insulting to sit across from management’s counsel and hear him insist that our care is not being downgraded. Many of our workers are now weighing major medical decisions – like how to continue to care for their families, if they can still afford to proceed with scheduled surgeries – against what would amount to a substantial pay cut. Any employee above the Basic EPO plan will have to cover 100% of the premium increase out of their own pocket, leading in some cases to out-of-pocket healthcare costs skyrocketing to more than $15,000 annually for members on the Standard Family plan. Management’s decision to shift extra costs onto employees punishes those with the most need, like people with families or chronic conditions, by allowing their premiums to increase by the greatest factor. And as workers making less money than managers, these costs are often even harder for us to absorb.

Management insists that these changes are not a violation of status quo, because they have continued to contribute the same maximum dollar amount toward employee healthcare plans as they did before we began bargaining. It is the position of the workers of TMP that this constitutes a violation of status quo because our plan design, scope of coverage, and employee cost have all changed. The employer-covered healthcare the vast majority of us were promised in hiring has lost almost all of its value. Employees who paid nothing out of pocket in Fall 2024 for the UHC Standard plan are now offered the lesser UHC Basic plan for Fall 2026 unless they cover the difference out of pocket. This is a significant downgrade in standard of care for those who elect to remain on the employer-covered plan and a sharp cut in compensation…

📈 Quotas & Metrics
Management wholesale rejected our three previous proposals on Quotas and Metrics. When pressed again at the table on Monday about why, Eddie cited an earlier written rejection. He said if they did choose to respond, they would do so in the context of our Just Cause counterproposal. This is concerning as we believe any quotas, metrics or “expectations” for output may affect numerous aspects of our working conditions: workload, assignments, hours, etc., not just discipline. Eddie said that bargaining does not mean that they are required to offer us a counterproposal, only that they have to speak to their reasoning for rejecting proposals.

Work Authorization
We put down a counter on Work Authorization, which was formerly the Visas and Immigration proposal. We renamed the counter to better reflect the scope of the proposal, which isn’t limited to visas. In our newly proposed language, we responded to several of management’s concerns and refined the proposal to clarify required communication. We’ll wait to see how management responds.

That’s all for updates today. Thanks to every worker who showed up in support of fair Just Cause, and to those who were sending support in our own channels. We’ll be back at the bargaining table next week on Thursday, August 6, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.

An update from the bargaining table: on 7/1 we put down two new proposals and two counters, and received one counter from management. Stay tuned for our next bargaining session on 7/27; we're inviting our CEO Katrice Hardy to the table to hear why our contract must include Just Cause protections.

Welcome back from the long weekend! Last Wednesday, we met management at the bargaining table to put down two new proposals on Intellectual Property and the Prevention of Discrimination and Harassment, as well as two counters. We received one counter from management.

At our next bargaining session, we’ll return to the issue our workers have told us again and again matters most: Securing industry-standard Just Cause, with fair and transparent due process. We’d like to take this occasion to invite our CEO Katrice Hardy to join us at that bargaining session on July 27 at 11 a.m. Eastern to hear about why our contract must include fair Just Cause protections. We always welcome TMP leadership at the bargaining table, and would love to see more of that team beyond Eli, our CFO; Belal, the HR representative; and a rotating editor representative attend regularly, similar to how we broadly invite our own members. In this instance, we’d especially appreciate Katrice’s presence as we bargain over Just Cause, an issue at the heart of the employment practices of the organization and the policies that govern it as a business.

🚫 Prevention of Discrimination and Harassment
We put down a new Prevention of Discrimination and Harassment proposal, which largely aims to codify our existing handbook policy. Additional language details the Guild’s role in the complaint process. We’ll wait for management’s response to this proposal.
🪧 No Strike / No Lockout
We presented a counter No Strike / No Lockout proposal, which meets management on several key compromises but maintains our right to picket as well as our right to strike over an unfair labor practice (ULP), which is a strike specifically in response to an employer violation of the National Labor Relations Act. These are critical protections for our workers, which safeguard our fundamental First Amendment rights and our ability to meaningfully address ULPs for the duration of our contract. We’ll wait for management’s response to our counter.

📁 Personnel Files
We put down a Personnel Files counter, which maintains that management must tell workers when discipline is added to their files and establishes a larger window to rebut discipline. Management accepted our proposal and we have reached a tentative agreement.
🪪 Visas and Immigration
Previously, we put down a proposal on Visas and Immigration which called for management to proactively discuss visa and sponsorship options with non-citizen employees who need a work authorization. In the counter that management returned to us today, they struck several parts of this proposal with the reasoning that they aren’t willing to commit to speaking with employees about their immigration options without dedicated legal counsel, which they may or may not hire at their discretion. We’ll review this counter closely, and plan a response.
