After six weeks of marathon bargaining with management for better wages and healthcare the Insider Union has reached a point where an open-ended strike is our only recourse.
Please support us by avoiding all Insider links in the coming days.
It's official: THE INSIDER UNION IS ON STRIKE.
Management failed to agree on a fair contract that settles our healthcare ULP and pays us what we're worth. Starting now, over 250 Insider employees are on indefinite strike.
You want us back
@thisisinsider
? Settle the contract. ✊

Using a dating app can often feel like an exercise in self-curation. I explored how the performative dynamics of dating apps impact the kind of people we attract through them.
🚨WE WON! 🥳‼️
We have a tentative agreement on a contract that will give our members more money and job protections and resolve our ULP.

Hi Audrey! I'm a reporter at Business Insider and I'm writing a quick post on the memes on social media in light of Altman's return to OpenAI. I was wondering if I could include yours and also if you had a further comment on it? Thanks!
Have you ever had an idea that felt so strongly, so innately correct to you, despite what other people said? I know I have, and sometimes, it can be hard to hold on to that idea when the world is telling you to let go.

What is Amazon actually doing with your data? I helped with this new investigation from Reveal that examines what happens behind closed doors. Check it out below.
NEW: We’ve reviewed internal Amazon documents that show security leaders issued warnings about the company’s inability to safeguard customer data.
The files show bribery, sabotage, and leaks inside one of the world’s most powerful companies.

Hi! I'm a reporter at Business Insider and I'm writing a short story about the Starlink hardware being sold in Costco in Kadoma City. I'm wondering if could use your picture in the story?

Ma said they struggled for three years and built 10 apps before they launched Poparazzi. What kept them going was the conviction that people were tired of the curated world they saw on social media. Gen Z, in particular, was in search of a more authentic social media platform.
