Today, we announced that 80% of the union members @latimes.com are ready to vote yes to authorize a strike. It has been three years without a contract, without a cost of living raise, without meaningful effort from our leaders to bargain a fair contract. We deserve better. So do our readers.
🙌🏼
I believe you are owned by a billionaire. Funny, how these people don’t take care of their employees. Greed.
We deserve transparency and accountability and truth ‼️
I support you! Writers unite✍🏽!
How can we help you?
Union 💪🏾 !!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡👏🏽👏🏻👏🏾👏🏿👏🏼👍🏾
GET THAT CONTRACT!
Where's your billionaire owner? Kissing the ring?
Been standing with you since the beginning. Sterling’s still here (he’s the furry one). So am I, a dedicated subscriber. I hate your ownership. I respect you journalists. I support the LA Times Guild. 👊 cc: @mattdpearce.com 😹
Sterling doesn’t scab!!
I love Sterling!
Aw. Heart shaped Care Bear nose.

This CWA member approves and wishes you good luck!!
The billionaire owner of the L.A. Times claims to be an independent but he’s really a Republican. He did not endorse Kamala Harris. Probably loves his Trump tax cuts for the rich. I would never read this paper, and I live in L.A.
no paywalls
So much better. 😔
Do it. You should have great support.
👏👏👏
Tell your South African owner to sell and fuck off
Get their asses Queally!
Good for you. Good journalism is so fantastically important! And the minor matter of your fat-cat owner not endorsing someone who might have done some good for the country - or certainly wouldn’t have created an autocracy.
Great but we need transportation strike. Shut this place down.
Stand strong. Our entire nation ought join you all in a national strike. Peace y'all.
Do it. stump killed the largest Union in the country..
Good
I hope you do and I hope you make them pay. I’d stop buying it if I ever had.
We stand with you
The whole country should go on strike. Every single person who cares about democracy and the rule of law should participate in a general strike. We support you!
Seriously look at buying them out and becoming a Cooperative. @profwolf.bsky.social might coach you.
Given this is a furry account, I'm 99.9% sure you tagged the wrong person here.
Sorry I think it would have been right on x.com but I'll go find a better one for my purpose. Thanks for redirecting me.
I've since come to know that LA Times owner is an actual medical professional who escaped racism in S. Africa for a stellar education in the US, made his fortune in lifesaving cancer innovation and now instead of paying it forward in his adopted country, he's doing the exact opposite.
I'm in Canada, same profession, I've not had a raise since 2015, not a typo, 2015.
Thats def top of a list of what readers deserve from the LAT for 2 decades, now. Union!
How does the union want subscribers to show their support if there's a strike?
Yes, your readers deserve better than to be lied to about what’s happening in Gaza
Godspeed!
hold that line
