Jack Crosbie / @jscros: Here's direct quotes from NYT CEO Meredith Levien at an all-hands meeting yesterday explaining why her tech employees don't deserve union recognition: because they're not journalists, and because some of them still “need more information.” https://discourseblog.com/...
Jack Crosbie / @jscros: personally i don't understand why the specific labor someone performs would change their right to collective bargaining but then again i'm not the CEO of the new york times https://discourseblog.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Andrea Zagata / @zagatam: Since when do you have to be a journalist to have a union? The auto workers would like a word. Would also like to know what does and doesn't count as a journalism job in the company's eyes https://twitter.com/...
Sara Simon / @sarambsimon: true story: meredith's assistant once reached out bc she wanted to tell me just how impressed meredith had been with a piece of journalism that i, then working as a nyt software engineer, had produced. said it had helped meredith prepare for a panel she was moderating. neat! https://twitter.com/...
@wolfewylie: As a unionized tech worker at a news organization, I can say without hesitation or reservation: we are journalists. https://twitter.com/...
@kathyvsinternet: Some replies/QTs here asking who counts as a journalist—good thought exercise but mostly not relevant to @NYTGuildTech campaign. My colleagues + I aren't unionizing bc we want to be re-categorized as journalists. We're unionizing bc we're *workers* and all workers need a union. https://twitter.com/...
Aron Pilhofer / @pilhofer: This is not going to go well, and the Times would be smart to reverse course now and recognize the union. The “you aren't journalists” line is simply bizarre. When I was there, ad sales people were union. Maybe still are. This is not smart. https://twitter.com/...
@dansinker: I've worked with technologists at the New York Times across multiple departments at many levels for *years* and I can say that they absolutely are journalists. Go on strike. https://twitter.com/...
@demarko: Say it with me: the reason all the anti-union points sound familiar is because there are no new anti-union points. The @NYTGuildTech has a majority, they're prepared to show it https://discourseblog.com/...
Derek Willis / @derekwillis: Fun fact: during most of my time at the NYT I was technically a business-side employee. https://twitter.com/...
Casey / @ckolderup: *sweating* tech workers shouldn't unionize because... uh... *looks around room, sees a journalist* they're not journalists https://twitter.com/...

Jonathan Vanasco / @jonathanvanasco: At multiple round-tables and conferences, I cringed when the NYT's CTO/VP Engineering/etc gloated and boasted about how they did not have recruiting issues and were able to underpay their tech workers because of the prestige factor in working at their organization. It is rotten. https://twitter.com/...
Adriana Lacy / @adriana_lacy: nyt's decision to not recognize the tech union is very corny. solidarity!! https://twitter.com/...
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: i am curious how she thinks Times journalism finds it's way to and stays up on the internet? honestly outrageous given how much the paper has benefitted from (and how much nyt journalists' work benefits) from the paper's excellent technical infrastructure. https://twitter.com/...

Jeremy Scahill / @jeremyscahill: The fact that @ggreenwald has been one of the most prominent promoters of these smears against @TheIntercept disturbs me deeply. I have a long, complex relationship with Glenn, but he has gone too far in these attacks. It is unjust and wrong. https://twitter.com/...
