union news (strike action), union page & twitter links
"We are the unionized workers at Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, Lifehacker, and The Root.
Since January 31, the Gizmodo Media Group Union (GMG Union) and G/O’s Media’s outside counsel have met five times. Every session, the company’s outside counsel sidestepped and delayed, refusing to provide written counterproposals to the union’s good-faith proposals. How can you bargain a contract when the people across the table won’t even clearly state what they’re advocating for?"
"As of March 1, GMG Union is officially on strike. We're asking people not to click on—or contribute content to—[Gizmodo,] [Jalopnik,] [Jezebel], [Kotaku,] [Lifehacker,] and [The Root.]" Bracket edits are solely to avoid inadvertently tagging unrelated fedi users.

@LexYeen wait, gizmodo? wasn't that one of those dozen or so utterly forgettable handheld game consoles from the 00s that completely failed?

@Felthry You may be experiencing name confusion due to how generic a name it is. I've never seen the tech blog branch out into gaming hardware.
