- Reposted by Mollie SimonToday we delivered to senior management in NY a petition signed by 1,300 ProPublica readers, donors and supporters, as well as fellow journalists at peer newsrooms and former ProPublicans. It’s clear that we have wide support for a fair contract NOW.
- Reposted by Mollie SimonLet's get clickbait out of local news. We are a group of Idaho and Washington journalists, and our publishing company, McClatchy, wants the ability to punish us for not meeting arbitrary story quotas. THREAD

- Reposted by Mollie SimonToday, we sent a letter to @themarshallproject.org leadership expressing concern about their denial of bargaining obligations. Management has repeatedly denied members Weingarten rights, engaged in an illegal layoff, and more — we need your help to demand that management bargain in good faith.
- Reposted by Mollie SimonI love working at ProPublica. I would love it more if it could guarantee us just cause protections. Go union.
- Reposted by Mollie SimonWe want a fair and equitable process with robust just cause. We deserve no less than our peers in other unionized newsrooms. I’m not in NY but still lunching out in support.
- Our New York members took their lunch outside today to demand that @propublica.org management agree to a fair discipline and performance evaluation system ✊

- Reposted by Mollie SimonWhile reporting this story about Hurricane Helene in NC, I was struck by how many people were asleep near creeks and rivers largely unaware of the coming danger. They were left to swim from homes. Or worse. 100+ died Texas is sounding so tragically similar. www.propublica.org/article/hurr...

- Reposted by Mollie SimonThree of our colleagues are being placed on PIPs today and @propublica.org management has refused to allow stewards in those meetings. We're not shutting up about this — our colleagues deserve better and we're extremely disappointed in management for denying us this basic union right.
- 1/4 UPDATE: This week, @propublica.org management informed a third bargaining unit member that they will be placed on a performance improvement plan and denied steward representation at the meeting where it is discussed. Our full statement 👇

- Every day, I’m grateful for and proud of the amazing people I get to work with across ProPublica—and I’m eager for us to get to a contract that reflects the values that we all hold.
- Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @sengelberg.bsky.social and @robinsparkman.bsky.social asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.
