Arizona Republic Reporters, Staffers Vote To Form A Union
Howard Fischer, Capitol Media Services
Updated: Friday, October 11, 2019 - 3:38pm
"It’s official: The state’s largest newspaper, The Arizona Republic, has voted to unionize.The 64-30 vote came despite a series of memos written by management at the Arizona Republic to staffers eligible to join the NewsGuild, a labor union for journalists in North America, that organizing in that way could have negative implications.
“This is a historic decision to protect local journalism,” said consumer reporter and member of the organizing committee Rebekah Sanders in a press release. “We have sent a powerful message to Gannett that we expect dignified layoff severance, fair wages and a voice in the decisions that affect our future.” . .
Thursday's vote does not actually gain the newsroom staffers anything beyond the right to collectively bargain with management.
"I think there's a general belief that now the hard work starts," Pitzl said.
Unlike efforts to unionize some other businesses, the impetus had less to do with salaries than trying to provide some protection to existing workers against layoffs. That has taken on additional importance following the announcement that Gannett was going to be purchased by GateHouse Media to form a $1.4 billion corporation. . .
The only GateHouse operation in Arizona is the Arizona Capitol Times, which is not a union shop.
