- Last week, 172 of us emailed @thisisinsider management explaining why we need job security, pay equity, metrics reform, and other proposals our union made. Two days later, Insider's counsel told us they didn't read our emails. So today we made sure they can read them.
- It's official: THE INSIDER UNION IS ON STRIKE. Management failed to agree on a fair contract that settles our healthcare ULP and pays us what we're worth. Starting now, over 250 Insider employees are on indefinite strike. You want us back @thisisinsider? Settle the contract. ✊
- Replying to @InsiderUnionOur unit will vote to ratify soon, but here’s some of what we won: -$65k salary minimum -Just cause -Layoff moratorium through the end of the year -Raises of over 10% during the term of the contract -Over $400,000 in healthcare cost reimbursements
- ✊ The @thisisinsider/@BusinessInsider US editorial staff have organized one of the largest @nyguild union drives for a digital media company to secure what we've built and strengthen it. Here's why 300+ members of our newsroom are taking this step. insiderunion.org
- Who’s got the power? WE’VE GOT THE POWER! ✊✊✊ Right now, over 250 Insider Union members are on a one-day walkout to say: Don’t lay off our coworkers! If you’re in the area, come join the massive picket line we’ve organized in Zuccotti Park. It’s time to fight back! 🔥
00:00 - We’re so excited to share that our union unanimously voted YES to ratify our contract today!🥳 This contract secures HUGE wins for our union, including a $65k salary minimum, just cause, layoff moratorium through the end of the year, $400,000+ healthcare reimbursements, & more!
- WE DID IT! ✅ Today, we won our National Labor Relations Board election, affirming that our editorial unit has overwhelmingly voted to form a union with @nyguild. We’ve worked so hard to reach this historic day. nyguild.org/post/editorial… 🧵1/5

00:00 - 🔥 WE’RE WALKING OUT! 🔥 At 9AM tomorrow, join the Insider Union’s picket line across from Zuccotti Park! We’ll have music, solidarity, and enough chanting to make your ears ring! Insider management is threatening to lay off 60 unit members. Help us fight against bad bosses!
- Replying to @InsiderUnionWe all marched, texted, flyered, rallied, took videos, wrote articles, tweeted, and kept the pressure on. We built our solidarity and our power. Our union will return to work stronger than ever! Thank you to everyone who helped us hold the line. When we fight, we win!✊💙🎉
- Our members have spoken. We’re going ON STRIKE if management doesn’t remedy its unfair labor practices and settle a fair contract by THURSDAY AT 11:59 P.M. ET. 🔥🪧🔥
- ✊WE DID IT!✊ As of December 1st, our union members will no longer be disciplined for failure to meet arbitrary metric goals. This is a monumental change for Insider, and a huge win for our journalists who are thrilled to keep producing phenomenal work.
- Insider employees are on an open-ended ULP strike and will not be paid during this time, losing their paychecks. Many of our members need additional funds to make ends meet, so we’ve set up a Gofundme to help them out:
