Don't cross the virtual picket line at Nine Publishing.

From 11am AEST on Friday, July 26 until 11am AEST on Wednesday, July 31, we will join the virtual picket line in support of the #MEAAmedia members at Nine Publishing on strike.

That means we will not share or click on any articles from Nine mastheads, Sydney MorningHerald, The Age, Financial Review, Brisbane Times and WA Today, and won’t buy the papers.

I don't blame the workers for the constraints of their garbage company. I doubt they can just pick what they want to write about, they're ultimately working to survive and taking the jobs on offer. Plus, systematic pressures on mass media are a whole thing.

If the workers get a pay rise, it digs into Nine Publishing's egregeous profits. There's also the broader impact of successful strike action on the rest of the labour movement in our fights for decent conditions. Solidarity is strength.
