Today, The Onion Union and its allies distributed flyers outside our Chicago, NYC, and LA offices. We regret wasting time in the physical world when we should be creating digital content to be clogged with ads and SEO terms designed to game search engines.

This morning, our sister union GMG (with whom we share our offices and beloved CEO) defaced their desks with filthy pro-union signs showing their support. We demand that G/O Media management take down these acts of solidarity as soon as possible!

The Onion applauds its owner, G/O Media, for its many savvy business decisions that have driven away all but our most loyal readers. We prefer an audience faithful enough to go through hell and back to access our reportage.

The Onion applauds its parent company, G/O Media, for its targeted termination of the many irksome editors who impede perpetual content churn with their insistence upon fact-checking and copyediting.

Yesterday, our union delivered a strike pledge signed by over 97% of our unit to management. We are prepared to fight for the contract we deserve!

Jim Spanfeller beautified The Onion office today by arranging for the removal of putrid pro-union signs that had previously desecrated the walls. Offices should be blank, windowless, and ideally crumbling to remind employees that they are trapped in a tomb of management's making.

The Onion applauds G/O Media for its commitment to the timeless American ideals of hard work, ceaseless production, perpetually rising output expectations, and static pay rates that lag behind cost of living—the very foundations our country was built on.

The Onion would like to congratulate its owner, G/O Media, for standing firm in its return-to-office mandate, as we can think of nowhere more conducive to best-in-class thought leadership than a fluorescent-lit room populated with the abandoned desks of terminated colleagues.

We stand with Great Hill Partners and other extractive private equity firms in their quest to scrap The Onion for parts.

Yesterday, G/O media management left bargaining several hours earlier than expected and went back to NYC. We thought we'd surprise them back at their office with a little treat!

Just finished this week's stretch of bargaining. We weren't expecting to have to fight tooth and nail for basic things like not being replaced by AI and remaining protected from online harassment. Please share and tag GO Media to show your support!
