We are the unionized workers at Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, Lifehacker, and The Root.
Since January 31, the Gizmodo Media Group Union (GMG Union) and G/O's Media's outside counsel have met five times. Every session, the company's outside counsel sidestepped and delayed, refusing to provide written counterproposals to the union's good-faith proposals. How can you bargain a contract when the people across the table won't even clearly state what they're advocating for?
We have not made this choice to strike lightly. Please read about the company proposals we're fighting below.
Some of the issues they list include expanded healthcare coverage for trans workers, management forcing workers to work in the office while the pandemic continues unabated, and forced relocations for workers (as was recently seen with The Onion, a sister site represented by a different union)
Don't read, link, or share anything from Kotaku until the strike ends. You can donate to their strike fund by following the link in the tweet above and scrolling down to the "Donate" button.
