People keep asking, "Are we in a recession? What's the Fed gonna do? Will I lose my job?" News headlines and economic data tell only one side of the story. We dug deeper for @CNET to find out what's really happening. cnet.com/personal-finance/ba…

VICTORY! Never underestimate our strength and solidarity.
BIG NEWS! After winning an online election, our @CNET union is officially recognized! According to our unofficial count, it was a landslide victory, with over 89% of our bargaining unit voting YES. Congrats to all the workers for leaving the woodpile higher than we found it!

If you're tired of being ghosted and never getting feedback on your application, that's because AI-powered hiring software is a black box. No one really understands what's happening to them as they navigate the process, says @MitraEbadolahi.

Automation always has human risks, and there's still debate if hiring/recruitment will ever be 100% run by AI. Recruiters feel the process relies on their discretion and judgment, according to @mona_sloane. This is still a human game, says @Chad_Sowash.

New AI policy @CNET affects workers. Before the tool rolls out, our union looks forward to negotiating: how & what data is retrieved; a regular role in testing/reevaluating tool; right to opt out & remove bylines; a voice to ensure editorial integrity. cnet.com/ai-policy/

CNET writers, editors, video producers and content creators have unionized with @WGAEast! CNET has a proud history of tech news, reviews and in-depth reporting. We’re fighting to keep that trusted legacy while securing industry-standard protections and assurances.

On the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, check out this piece by @TheMamaFesto on the high cost of abortion that I pitched & edited for @CNET. More than 50% of those who need abortions live in poverty, and now it's harder to access and more expensive: cnet.com/health/parenting/ab…

Most people pay for abortion services out of pocket b/c they're uninsured or underinsured, or prohibited by law. Lack of access to safe and legal abortions disproportionately affects Black, minority and marginalized communities, and has long-lasting life consequences.

Abortion is an economic question: half of workers are in low-wage jobs and child care is out of reach. As @CarrieNBaker pointed out, "The greatest cost of all is being denied an abortion and having to carry to term a pregnancy that's unwanted."
