A beloved colleague who was terminated last year through management's vague and inconsistent disciplinary process regularly brought apple cake to the office on his birthday. As we did last year, we are marking his absence and calling for job security protections with apple cake in our NYC office.

A smiling guild member wearing a ProPublica Guild shirt uncovers the apple cakes in the ProPublica office.

Many guild members wearing ProPublica Guild shirts help themselves to slices of apple cake.

All right, let's do this.

I have no inside info on @karenattiah.bsky.social's case. But I know Post employees are part of @postguild.bsky.social, and their contract allows the union to challenge "disciplinary action on the basis that is was taken without just cause."

So what's just cause?

Any interest in an educational thread on "just cause" protections in union contracts?

Why is it almost all decent news organizations, even the nonprofits, are so anti-union and so resistant to fairness?

@propublica.org, get it together. The organization isn't hurting for money. In 2023, you were sitting on $75 million in assets. #FairContractNow

Unions are the lifeblood of workers rights, and ProPublica is one of the few news outlets that does deep investigations into the structures of power we are all living under. I don't sign many things (nobody got time for all those emails)but I signed this.
