My good friends at the Chicago Reader (cc: @chicagoreaderunion.bsky.social) are being offered contract proposals that would strip away long-held benefits. Having just won the dang paper a *dang award,* I sent a letter to management. Join me in showing solidarity! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

More than 500 people have sent letters in support of @chicagoreaderunion.bsky.social. Can we double that by the end of the weekend? It takes less than a minute to send a letter to management on our behalf.

y’all have helped us send more than 500 emails to our bosses demanding they offer us what we’re worth 🥹 can we get to 600 this weekend?

Last year, the Reader Union helped the paper survive a crisis that nearly shut us down, taking paycuts, furloughs, and working long hours and outside gigs. Now, management is proposing a contract that would cut longstanding benefits and pay us less than workers at its other papers.

Proud to be an alt-weekly baby. These jobs put food on the table for me as a kid, but without a dedicated staff given the time and resources to do their job, they are worth absolutely nothing. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

sent a letter! The Reader is invaluable because of its workers

The Reader union is in the middle of contract negotiations, and we could use your support.

I took a furlough for this paper when I was 6 months pregnant. The story I pushed out before I pushed out my kid recently took 1st place for long form features in the 2026 AAN Awards. Still, Noisy Creek wants to pay me (& my Reader comrades) less than our peers at the other outlets they own. 🤔

It's raining so hard today that the MWRD has issued an Overflow Action Alert! Please conserve water usage to reduce water in sewers! Also! Follow @chicagoreaderunion.bsky.social, & read the rat log below to catch up on what we sacrificed last year to keep the Reader alive. It's new contract time 😎

3/ Management has put itself on the wrong side of this issue. Recently, we joined 17 unions representing nonprofit newsrooms and their contributors to call for a set of common-sense guardrails around AI in journalism: cnnu.org

2/ They have refused contract language that would shield workers from AI-related layoffs, provide us meaningful input on AI usage and mandate that any future AI-generated content be clearly labeled.

1/ After 28 months of bargaining our first contract, @propublica.org management continues to take unacceptable positions on the issue of artificial intelligence.
