    Earlier today, @JimSpanfeller, CEO of G/O Media, fired our colleague and longtime Deadspin Deputy Editor Barry Petchesky. This will not stand. We will have updates soon.

    1) lmao 2) scare mongering about dues is a classic union busting tactic!! is your boss ever worried about where literally any other part of your paycheck goes? are they out here trying to stop your landlord from raising the rent? x.com/EoinHiggins_/s…

    our bosses heard from so many of you that they’ve disabled forwarding for this email address. direct action works, and they’re scared of it. we’ve spent the morning planning next steps. stay tuned, and thank you for standing with us.

    The GMG Union has been informed that posts across our websites asking for reader feedback on an autoplay ad campaign were taken down by management. We condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. (1/2)

    Our statement on G/O Media’s plan to implement AI content, just days after laying off newsroom members
    On June 29, G/O Media informed editorial staff that it will begin a “modest test” of artificial intelligence (AI) content on its websites—The A.V. Club, Deadspin, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, Quartz, The Root, and The Takeout. As the unionized editorial staffers of G/O Media, organized with the Writers Guild of America East, we are appalled by this news. The hard work of journalists cannot be replaced by unreliable AI programs notorious for creating falsehoods and plagiarizing the work of real writers. Our newsrooms have spent decades building trust with audiences—introducing computer-generated garbage undermines our ability to do our jobs, erodes trust in us as journalists, damages our brands, and threatens our jobs. This news comes after years of disinvestment in our newsrooms, increased demands on reporters and editors, and mass attrition of staff. Furthermore, it comes mere days after the company laid off more than a dozen of our colleagues, including union employees.

    It’s been a long road but tonight we won a strong contract that we’re incredibly proud of. Details TBA, but for now all you need to know is: organizing works, there is power in a union, we can change this industry if we all stand together. Organize. Your. Workplace.

    Deadspin staffers had nothing to do with the changes on the front page. Here's how it looked earlier today and here's how it looks now.

    The Onion and GMG Unions are saddened to report that our colleagues at Gizmodo Español, a site that once housed original, quality Spanish-language reporting, have been replaced en masse by an AI translation service.
