Shame on @springernature.com for union busting! We call on @sciam.bsky.social’s new owner @labx.org to recognize the @sciamunion.bsky.social and prepare to bargain a fair first contract. Thank you to everyone who joined yesterday’s Scientific American Union rally in solidarity ✊

Three days after Springer Nature sold Scientific American without warning, the NLRB conducted our scheduled union vote count, despite Springer Nature’s attempt to stop it. And guess what? WE WON. What’s more, it was nearly unanimous, with 31 out of 32 voters checking YES.

On Tuesday, Scientific American was sold by international publisher Springer Nature. Large numbers of staff were immediately laid off, and salaries of remaining workers were cut by as much as 30% SciAm staff had just voted to unionize. We should call this action what it is – blatant union-busting.

A poster titled “Scientific American Rally” invites people to a rally on tuesday june 30 at 5pm at 1 new york plaza. it says “show springer nature that science journalism and the people behind it matter!”

Thanks to @springernature.com HR and their representatives, we’ve heard a lot of silly union-busting comments and we’re close to hitting bingo! We can’t wait for tomorrow to say we’ve voted YES to recognition.

Our vote for union recognition is one week away! The HR team at @springernature.com stated their stance: “We hope you will conclude that voting “no” is the right choice for you.” We’re confident we deserve fair and equitable workplace representation and are excited to vote YES on Tuesday June 2nd. ✊

Today, @springernature.com has invited staff to a third “informational meeting” with union-buster Ronn English. Who knew “union avoidance” was a recognized skill on LinkedIn?

Text reads: "FAQ--How do I spot a union-buster? Answer--Here's a hint..." above a LinkedIn screenshot of Ronn English listing a skill in "Union Avoidance"

It’s official! @springernature.com refused voluntary recognition and is requiring a vote on June 2. 🙄 An overwhelming majority of staff signed union cards, so forcing a vote disrespects our voices. We’re not fooled, we know a union-busting tactic when we see it—but it won’t work! 👊

As @springernature.com continues to employ tired and costly union-busting tactics, we just wanted to say we’re so grateful to all the subscribers, scientists and journalists who’ve reached out and said they’ll stand with us as we fight to ensure @sciam.bsky.social lasts another 180 years. Thank you!

Happy May Day! It’s been a busy week for SciAm Union’s mighty mitochondria. In good news, @springernature.com formally responded to our demand for voluntary recognition. But disappointingly, instead of working with us directly they are dragging their feet and calling in the NLRB.

Read the WGAE and @wgawest.bsky.social Statement on the Warner Bros. Discovery Shareholder Vote to Approve Paramount Merger

WGAE/WGAW Statement:
The proposed merger of Paramount & Warner Bros. Discovery would be a disaster for writers, the entertainment industry, consumers, and the country. While shareholders approved this deal today, this merger is far from final. This proposed acquisition is exactly what our nation’s antitrust laws are designed to prevent. We are confident CA Attorney General Rob Bonta & his fellow State Attorneys General will investigate this transaction fully and follow the law.

Every time media and entertainment companies merge, they promise lower prices, more choices for consumers, increased production & improvements for workers. And every time those promises are broken; the mergers instead result in higher prices, fewer choices, significant job loss, & suppression of underrepresented voices and stories.

The Writers Guild of America urges antitrust enforcers to intervene and stop further harms to competition in an already consolidated industry. This merger can and must be blocked.
