Danielle Ohl / @dtohl: Evan is right. Be more like Evan. 🙂 https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Draper / @kevinmdraper: What's curious about Alex's comment in here is not only is it extremely insulting to people he ostensibly represents whose dues paid for the organizing campaign at his shop, also tactically they harm the chance of passing the very dues raise he supports! https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
@niemanlab: “The battle pits Times reporters and editors skeptical of the NewsGuild's spending against other Guild members frustrated by the unwillingness of largely well-paid journalists to sacrifice a small amount for their colleagues in the industry.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Noah / @noahmf: Just of the subset of people on this list who have Wikipedia pages, and just from the face of those pages, red means they grew up in a rich neighborhood, blue means they have famous parents/grandparents and green means prep school. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@thedailybeast: The proposal, which would require an increase of dues from 1.3846 percent to 1.75 percent, and end the cap on dues for those making more than $140,000 per year, sparked dissension from dozens of top members from the Times https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Eric Cunningham / @decunningham2: If New York was a right to work state, these journalists would be able to hold the union to account by threatening to resign from the union and withhold any payments to them. Instead, they will likely have no say and be forced to pay these insane hikes. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Shane / @shaneferro: Look, it seems like there's some communication issues at the NewsGuild, but I'm in the legal nonprofit version of this wildly growing union situation and these arguments are a bunch of crap https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Corey Robin / @coreyrobin: Anybody know why Arthur Schwartz is helping the Times staffers who are opposing a dues increase for the union? Last I remember he was helping the transit workers fight a Giuliani injunction to stop them from striking. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Rebecca Traister / @rtraister: Thinking about the economic stability provided by a union that's been in place for decades, and how few contemporary journalists can fathom what that must be like, and how hard my colleagues are fighting for our contracts. I can't wait to pay dues. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Davey Alba / @daveyalba: Here is the @nyguild Executive Committee response to the Daily Beast story. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Eli Valley / @elivalley: Some of the richest and most privileged journalists on the planet refuse to chip in more to help less secure colleagues facing one of the most cataclysmic convulsions in the history of the industry: https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben Jay / @fakebenjay: Of fucking course the NYTers retained Arthur Schwartz—the “progressive” attorney whose bona fides include years of stonewalling the 14th street busway—to oppose the Newsguild dues increase. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Hannah Gais / @hannahgais: considering that media unions are one of the few things keeping journalism afloat, it's very interesting to see that some people aren't willing to pay $400-500 a year to keep the industry alive. https://twitter.com/...
M. Edith Sklaroff / @mesklaroff: Can't stop thinking of the Phil Ochs stage banter on liberals: “an outspoken group on any subject, 10 degrees to the left of center usually, 10 degrees to the right of center if it effects them personally.” https://twitter.com/...
Annalisa Merelli / @missanabeem: I think some of these points are valid but they would read a lot stronger if it wasn't for the objection to removing a cap on dues. That there *is* a cap is entirely unfair! https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Parker / @pt: Media is tough, but there will always be a good market for the highest-quality journalism. Journalists get this. So it probably shouldn't be surprising that set isn't interested in subsidizing unions sinking other ships knowing that theirs will continue to sail regardless. https://twitter.com/...
Libby Watson / @libbycwatson: and $500 is the range of what they're talking about in terms of increases. they all make a shitload of money and work at the fucking new york times. get a grip https://twitter.com/...
Jordan / @jordanuhl: Saw the list of names of people who signed this. It's exactly who you think. https://twitter.com/...
Evan Hill / @evanchill: Raising union dues and ending the dues cap on salaries over $140,000 to help the Guild continue unionizing shops in an industry where they are desperately needed seems sensible, and I'm happy to pay more to that end. Hope everyone has a nice weekend. 😃 https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Hamilton Nolan / @hamiltonnolan: There are two reasons to organize enthusiastic industries like media *as fast as possible.* 1) The moral imperative to help people. 2) Having tons of workers ready willing and able to unionize is not the norm and unions need to take advantage of it. “Slowing down” is not savvy.
Robby Soave / @robbysoave: What a den of vipers. I can't imagine ever wanting to work for a media company where employees who took their jobs as union activists more seriously than their actual jobs felt this entitled to rail against their colleagues. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Bridget Read / @bridgetgillard: Those of us who don't yet pay @nyguild dues are in fact begging to pay them. We're desperate to finish our contracts. The timing & tenor of this “revolt” directly undermines our years-long fight to contribute. Stand with us so we can stand with you. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Tate James / @tatejamesdotcom: twitter 100% causes brain worms yes guild members pushed back and gave some good feedback on a difficult issue, which was why the vote was delayed and amended to move toward common ground this article and the discourse around it encourages the opposite https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Alex Shephard / @alex_shephard: The NewsGuild has done so much to make this industry fairer and more equitable. It's really sad to watch people who have so much—job security, high salaries, book deals—work so hard to undermine efforts that help people who don't https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Benjamin Freed / @brfreed: It's truly disappointing to see so many Times journalists who I've long admired take a position that'll weaken their union, and could chill unionization efforts by journalists who aren't compensated as handsomely as Times employees. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Davey Alba / @daveyalba: as i've been saying, the newsguild dues situation is not as black and white as it is being portrayed in some news stories, including this one. i read this statement out loud at the last guild town hall on dues, and it seemed to resonate then https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Sam Blum / @blumnessmonster: It'd be cool if the NY Guild could just remove all the people making $140,000 annually from the Times' bargaining unit, as they clearly don't want it to perform at its necessary level. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Rebecca Ungarino / @ungarino: This is not the most absurd thing in a story about an uproar over a proposal to hike Guild dues to 1.75% from 1.3846%, the first such hike in more than a decade, but surely this is not a real word https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Alan Pyke / @pykea: striking to see these selfish, shortsighted jackwagons crib directly from “taxing the rich is unfair” and “only taxpayers should be allowed to vote” arguments here https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Jon Schwarz / @schwarz: This cap should be ended, the NYT union shouldn't have a dues structure that's regressive, just like rich people shouldn't have lower tax rates. Their contact gives members annual 2% raises on their entire salaries, not their salaries up to $140,000. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Rosenberg / @allmattnyt: For the folks throwing around words like “scab,” can I suggest you take a quick glance at the wise words coming from @daveyalba. We're all in this together even if we don't always agree on the best way forward. https://twitter.com/...
Karla Monterroso / @karlitaliliana: Wild to me, WILD how little solidarity these people feel with other people in their field. To have gotten so much prestige in your field and to not get what is happening around you. To your whole damn industry. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Kim Kelly / @grimkim: How much money does it take to completely erase a person's ability to empathize with their fellow workers (or to feel any sense of shame)? Whatever these bougie jags are making, I guess! https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Edward Ongweso Jr / @bigblackjacobin: “You can pay [dues] and it helps your future colleagues. Especially at a time our industry is fucking calamitous. It seems to be lost on these people as they live in this gilded palace. These people don't have any sense of solidarity with their colleagues” https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Daniel Marans / @danielmarans: There is a self-interest argument as well: An industry where every worker is unionized increases the bargaining power of every shop ... https://twitter.com/...
@aidachavez: imagine caring more about 0.4% of your massive salary than you do about other workers https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Cale G Weissman / @caleweissman: extremely good @alex_shephard quotes in here https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Jordan Zakarin / @jordanzakarin: Also, it's not as if the NY Times is immune to layoffs or other market pressures that have obliterated much of the news industry. Reporters may need to go work somewhere else one day. A media landscape filled with low-wage jobs is not good! https://twitter.com/...
Sara Morrison / @saramorrison: Thanks to @vox_union, I will be getting a raise for the first time since my days as a Subway sandwich artist. A previous job punished me for asking for one. Unions rule, union dues are worth it, and I guess some people forgot how much they benefited from their own. https://twitter.com/...

Jessica Lessin / @jessicalessin: @pkafka Wow. The “only people they are recruiting and paying for two years” should put to rest the question of whether they are getting into the media/news/commentary business. I didn't expect that.
Meredith Haggerty / @manymanywords: Substack but for apolitical people Mark Zuckerberg likes, end of list. What a business! https://twitter.com/...
Nandagopal Rajan / @nandu79: People working on the project say that design is partially an attempt to distinguish Bulletin's brand from Facebook — particularly at a time when readers and writers may distrust the company — and partially an effort to evade the Apple/Google cut https://www.vox.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Also: FB will market Bulletin on Facebook. But you'll read/sign up/pay for it outside of Facebook. Part branding, part Apple/Google tax avoidance.
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Facebook's Substack is like Substack except: *You can't write for it.
