    This week, @Hearst's corpo ghouls needlessly and unceremoniously laid off 192 of our fellow comrades. We are devastated to lose this talented group of editors, producers, designers and more, who together have covered everything from astrology to politics to cycling. Hire them.

    Solidarity with all creative humans opposed to having their work be used to train the artificial intelligence industry. @HearstMagazines partnering with OpenAI erodes the trust our readers have in us and will lead to the destruction of our environment.

    The WGAE and @hearstunion maintain that generative artificial intelligence is theft and is a mandatory subject of bargaining. We will not stop fighting to protect our members' work and livelihood from this existential threat. #1u #UnionStrong
    This week, Hearst became the latest WGAE shop to strike a content deal with OpenAI. The threat OpenAI and other artificial intelligence tools pose to journalism and the public is inconceivable, especially given how these deals lack transparency about how Guild’s members work will be used to train AI models, generate plagiarized material or protect the intellectual property created by Guild members. It is abhorrent and irresponsible that media companies would trade in their credibility for quick cash at the same time numerous news organizations and writers are in litigation with OpenAi over these very issues.  

In addition, these deals further contribute to AI’s dangerous environmental impact. We cannot ignore the severe consequences AI poses to furthering climate change.

    Workers at A+E Factual Studios, who create shows such as "Dance Moms," are trying to unionize, aiming to establish a foothold in the largely unrepresented nonfiction TV business. trib.al/7JpHr0Z

    WGAE members at @thedodounion and @Thrillistunion are engaging in a one-day strike TOMORROW. Management has withheld raises and promotions from members at The Dodo & Thrillist — despite giving them to their other @VoxMedia colleagues. Enough is enough. #OneUnionOneContract now!
    I support Thrillist and The Dodo Union members on strike! #OneUnionOneContract
    Thrillist Union + The Dodo Union + Vox Media Union = #OneUnionOneContract
