For a Fair Contract at Science News!

Maya Ajmera, CEO of the Society for Science and Executive Publisher of Science News

Workers at Science News and Science News Explores have been bargaining their first union contract for over a year now. Despite the entire staff's proven ability to work effectively from home, management maintains an unfair policy of forcing some staff to work on site. Moreover, despite tens of millions in revenue, employees receive paltry wage increases through an opaque pay structure. Stand with these award-winning journalists and send a message to management: fair contract now!

I am writing in support of the Science News Media Guild and their goals of fair and transparent pay and work conditions.

For more than a century, the journalists of Science News Media Group have provided reliable, accurate coverage of new developments in science, technology and medicine. In the current era of misunderstanding and mistrust in science, this public service is more important now than ever, with the writers and other workers playing a vital role in Society for Science's mission of promoting public understanding of science. Science News Media Guild's demands for a fair and transparent pay structure, as well as fair remote work opportunities, should be no-brainers.

The workers at Science News and Science News Explores deserve a fair contract, and I will be standing with them in solidarity every step of the way.
