Happy Labor Day from The Onion Union! Today, we're demanding better working conditions for CEOs. Let's give the power back to the 1%!

Text that reads: “This Labor Day, The Onion Union would like to remind our nation’s highest-paid CEOs that it’s never too late to dismantle American workers’ hard-fought labor rights. Go and get ‘em, tigers!”

Bluesky, we'd like to introduce ourselves. The staff of Static Media would like to announce that we have formed a union with @wgaeast.bsky.social. Much like Jalopnik has already unionized and been recognized, we would like to request a voluntary recognition for all the Static Media sites.

Today marks one year until our current contract expires. While we will miss the days of The Onion being systematically dismantled and stripped for parts by private equity, we are nonetheless excited to bargain with new management.

More to come, but we're thrilled to announce that we've reached a tentative agreement. We're proud to bring this to our unit for ratification. ✊

The Onion Union's contract expires at midnight tonight. We are committed to bargaining in good faith and securing a fair contract for our talented and hardworking members.

With three days left of bargaining, management refused to be physically present during in-person sessions. We can think of no greater indignity than having to look employees in the eye when they are nothing more than faceless numbers representing wasted cost on a spreadsheet.

Today, The Onion Union and its allies distributed flyers outside our Chicago, NYC, and LA offices. We regret wasting time in the physical world when we should be creating digital content to be clogged with ads and SEO terms designed to game search engines.

This morning, our sister union GMG (with whom we share our offices and beloved CEO) defaced their desks with filthy pro-union signs showing their support. We demand that G/O Media management take down these acts of solidarity as soon as possible!

As America's Finest News Source for the past 258 years, The Onion could not have made it here without the managerial prowess of G/O Media, whose trailblazing strategy of blanketing webpages in blaring advertisements has led the digital media industry to where it stands today.

The Onion applauds its owner, G/O Media, for its many savvy business decisions that have driven away all but our most loyal readers. We prefer an audience faithful enough to go through hell and back to access our reportage.

The Onion applauds its parent company, G/O Media, for its targeted termination of the many irksome editors who impede perpetual content churn with their insistence upon fact-checking and copyediting.

The Onion has long reported on the many valuable contributions of CEOs within their respective industries. As we bargain for a new contract, we can't help but be reminded of the many great CEOs who have led the way with their cruelty, greed, and bloodlust.

Jim Spanfeller beautified The Onion office today by arranging for the removal of putrid pro-union signs that had previously desecrated the walls. Offices should be blank, windowless, and ideally crumbling to remind employees that they are trapped in a tomb of management's making.

The Onion applauds G/O Media for its commitment to the timeless American ideals of hard work, ceaseless production, perpetually rising output expectations, and static pay rates that lag behind cost of living—the very foundations our country was built on.

The Onion demands fewer rights and urges G/O Media to replace The Onion's workforce entirely with artificial intelligence. AI is a gorgeous efficiency tool that should replace human workers in all sectors, not just digital media.

The Onion would like to congratulate its owner, G/O Media, for standing firm in its return-to-office mandate, as we can think of nowhere more conducive to best-in-class thought leadership than a fluorescent-lit room populated with the abandoned desks of terminated colleagues.

It's impossible to foster a creative and successful media company if AI content mush is valued over the skills of talented writers, editors, and artists. This is why we're fighting for a fair contract. RT to show your support! ✊

Only 1 month left until our union contract expires! We'd love to start the new year with optimism and not worry about issues like whether our roles will be replaced by AI in 2024.

Fun fact: G/O Media has repeatedly told newly hired employees that the company is not allowed to offer a salary above the union's contract-mandated minimum for each role. This is absolutely untrue, but it sure is a great way for G/O to keep new hire costs down!

There are 33 days left until our contract expires. That's exactly how many members are in The Onion Union! Do you know how many members we had when we formed our union in 2018? More than 80. Thanks, G/O Media :)

There are 40 days until our contract expires. Fun fact: We've had 3 rounds of layoffs since being purchased by G/O Media, two of them this year. Each one has certainly highlighted the importance of a strong contract!

There are 42 days until our contract expires. Fun fact: Our salaries are way behind industry standard and the salaries at our sister sites at GMG. Looking forward to presenting our economic demands at bargaining!
