Despite New York Public radio's announcement that it is planning to lay off 12% of staff next week, the NYPR union is still fighting to save the jobs of as many valued colleagues as possible. Layoffs are not the only -- or smartest -- way to handle financial shortfalls. THREAD

New York Public Radio execs want to lay off 12% of staff this week. We’re home to WNYC, WQXR, Gothamist, The Green Space + your fave podcasts. We’re asking execs to choose a different way. #ListenersNotLayoffs 🚨Sign the petition to help #SavePublicRadio bit.ly/nypr

As New York Public Radio prepares to lay off a significant chunk of the staff, we have learned that the organization also hired an outside freelancer to write a brief article covering the layoffs. THREAD

Nine year @WNYC mvp, Aletheia John oversees the mailroom, security + building access. She came in most of the pandemic, making sure the at home staff had everything they needed. People finally returning is a welcome change, “I'm just grateful to talk to people again.” #WeMakeNYPR

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us in recent days and said NO to layoffs. Following negotiations with the union, NYPR management agreed to enhanced severance terms and limited buyouts but is not pursuing other alternatives to try to save jobs.

Today, we announce our intent to unionize a new group of New York Public Radio employees with @sagaftra. For years, some @WNYC @WQXR @TheGreeneSpace @WNYCStudios workers have been union members, while others were excluded. We’re excited to come together as one union! #wemakeNYPR

Ace broadcast engineer Juliana Fonda and @SAGAFTRANY member is back in the saddle @WNYC today after a subway shooter opened fire in the train she was riding to work yesterday. We’re so thankful she is safe 🙏💪💪

🧵 this is an important piece from @CJR. We recently settled labor grievances w/ NYPR in order to obtain just cause for reporters and hosts, with the hope that securing this provision would allow members to voice concerns with less fear of retaliation. …
WNYC sought change. It got turmoil.

3/ First, the idea that our journalists primarily produce “colorful local features” overlooks the deep investigative reporting, engaging live shows, and various forms of award-winning media created by our members and non-union colleagues every day.
