Thank you to the tens of thousands of creators and EU citizens who spoke out about the unintended consequences of Article 13. The amendment to delete A13 lost by a few votes, and could have gone differently. This is the beginning. #saveyourinternet techdirt.com/articles/201903…

Big win today. But we can't let up for a second. Full committee vote comes next, then House floor, then the Senate. Onward! motherboard.vice.com/en_us/a…

We're super stoked to get to our last phase of bargaining: economics. It's been a long journey, but we're so thankful for everyone's overwhelming continuous public support, and we couldn't be more excited to present our proposal across the table today. #VoxUnion ✊

BuzzFeed “basically hit” $300 million in revenue for 2018, the Journal reported, but CEO Jonah Peretti told staff that “revenue growth by itself isn’t enough to be successful in the long run." buff.ly/2Rba73I

BuzzFeed is not planning on paying out vacation days to laid off workers (outside of CA, where it’s state law). Some people had many days, especially essential staff who worked weekends and holidays in exchange for extra comp days. I signed this. medium.com/@BuzzFeedNewsStaf…
We demand BuzzFeed pay out earned paid time off to its recently laid off employees.

This is what organized labor can do. All workers benefit from the support of their union.

Our #VoxUnion bargaining committee has been at the table with @VoxMediaInc management the last 7 hours to negotiate a fair severance package for our colleagues whose jobs were taken from them close to the holidays. We'll go another 7 hours, if necessary.

The more I learn about the business of early online video, how things actually went down, the more I see that the "wild west" wasn't about how free we were to create, it was about how free assholes were to suck value out of innovative young creators.
