We have less than 72 hours left before our contract expires. This week, we are determined to get a fair deal on the table and sign it. Here's what we're still fighting for. #1u (1/6)
Many of our employees are made to live in expensive cities that have been hard hit by the country's still-uncertain economic situation. It's only right that their COLAs be raised to match the moment. #1u (2/6)
The average rent for a one-bedroom in DC is more than $2,400. In New York, it's more than $3,800 (per Apartment List). We need a salary floor of at least $60,000, effective immediately, in our contract. #1u (3/6)
Our competitors offer 20 weeks of paid parental leave—so why does Slate management expect us to settle for 11 weeks? It's unacceptable. #1u (4/6)
We've fought long and hard for this contract. We want to ensure that we can keep it for our workers—who are this magazine's most valuable assets—if Slate is ever sold by our parent company. Shouldn't our contract be protected, regardless of who owns Slate? #1u (5/6)
We've made a lot of progress, but we want to land some final demands that we believe are fair and reasonable, and that will make Slate a better workplace for all. Slate Contract Now! #1u (6/6)

1/ After weeks of bargaining, we’re proud to say we’ve made progress with management on many key issues. We’re also, frankly, dismayed by how management has responded to one critical request: They’re rejecting our proposal for union security in our contract. THREAD:
2/ In lieu of union security, management is insisting on an open shop, basically writing a right to work clause into our contract. That means that any union member can choose not to pay dues, while still receiving full benefits from the union.
3/ Right to work is a fundamentally anti-union principle. It essentially introduces a tragedy of the commons issue by enabling anyone who so chooses to freeload off the labor and dues of paying union members.
