The. Deal. Is. So. Good.

Summary of the 2023 WGA MBA

The following is a summary of the deal terms for the 2023 MBA. It is a simplified version of the Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”), which cont

Couldn't get the link to the side-by-side of the WGA offer, the AMPTP counter offer from May, and the final deal, because it's a document to download and too many pictures to take for this post that probably wouldn't be legible, but it's in this tweet (click the link below the tweet to go to said tweet):

Don't forget,the fight isn't over for SAG-AFTRA and next year, contracts are up again for IATSE, including The Animation Guild.

If you're a fan of movies, tv, and animation, keep helping the guilds fight the good fight!

Also, please support the other unions that are out their now fighting their own fights including Amazon workers, Local 11 in LA, and Flight Attendants!

And of course, big thanks to strike hero Drew Carey for paying for probably THOUSANDS of meals for striking writers in LA these past five months.

Congratulations WGA and Pre-WGA for your amazing wins with this contract!

Some union basics:

1. Striking is the LAST RESORT. If a union is at the place where a strike is being proposed it is because they have been bargaining for a long time and exhausted all their other options.

2. Before a strike happens, all the members vote. Everyone is very aware of the status of negotiations long before they’re made public. But if a strike is occurring it’s because an overwhelming majority voted to strike—you want almost everyone in the union to agree before you take such a huge step.

3. Strikes are difficult but necessary demonstrations of workers’ collective power. The hope is that your labor is so essential that the bosses lost profits will make them come back to the bargaining table. The bosses are hoping that the workers will starve to death.

4. Working during a strike is called scabbing. Coming in from an outside industry to do work during a strike is sometimes called crossing the picket line. Both send you straight to hell.

Hi Liz! Do you know any hotel/hospitality unions in CT? I'm new to hospitality but the way my workplace is run kinda makes my head spin. I'm willing to go into more details privately if that would help (work is a larger conglomerate) but thought I'd ask 🥸 hope youre having an OK day thanks!!! 🐤🐤

The actors are on strike, so you have to be your authentic self, or else that’s acting and you’re a scab!

Due to actors and writers being on strike and having my full support✊🏼 Here's my silly, tiny attempt at helping boost Good Omens 2 in socials. In the next couple of weeks I will post something here and on Twitter regarding the main characters so we can discuss and talk about what we expect of them in the new season! 💖 I encourage you to do the same and don't forget to use these to talk about the show! #GoodOmens2 #watchgoodomens

Starting soon with lovely angel Muriel!

Stay tuned for the next days... ✨

The UAW has just joined the call for a cease-fire.

This is a BIG FUCKING DEAL.

It marks a huge break from a history of unions in complicity with Israel even against the demands of their own membership. Coming off its historic strike, taking this public and unapologetic stance makes it much harder for Biden to continue with his complicitiy and marks a profound shift in the relationship between the labor movement and movements for Palestinian rights.

“Unions know better than anyone what solidarity means. That’s why they’re increasingly refusing to stay silent in the face of this horrendous genocide our government is backing in Gaza,” said one labor activist.

Posted @withregram • @ewmcrenew TODAY IN LABOR HISTORY: On August 1, 1917 Union Organizer Frank Little was dragged from his boarding house room by six masked men. He was beaten and taken to the edge of town where he was lynched and hanged from a railroad trestle. A note with the words “First and last warning” was pinned to his thigh, referring to earlier vigilantes giving people three warnings to stop objectionable actions. An estimated 10,000 workers lined the route of his funeral procession, which was followed by 3,500 more persons. He was buried in Butte’s Mountain View Cemetery. His grave marker reads “Slain by capitalist interests for organizing and inspiring his fellow men.” . . . . . . . . . . #1u #UnionStrong #IWW #FrankLittle #OrganizedLabor #WorkingClass #Solidarity #DontMournOrganize #ClassWar #NoWarButClassWar #AnInjuryToOneIsAnInjuryToALL https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg3Jy4rLQUoUPoVkHkZ_5qwFblp8OqvDOrHMk00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i think what you did with the insider union is super cool :)

ayooooo thank you! I was lucky to join the organizing committee a bit later in my unit's organizing campaign and mostly help with the push to go public & our NLRB vote, and I'm constantly in awe of the work my colleagues did to organize a unit as large as ours during the pandemic. it is very special to work with ur friends to try and make your workplace better for everyone in it!!!!!!!!!!! (and also to make silly tiktoks about ur union)
