Jon Schleuss Sworn in to CWA Executive Board

Earlier this month, Jon Schleuss was sworn in as a member of CWA's Executive Board. Schleuss won the election as president of the NewsGuild-CWA in December. Prior to taking office Schleuss worked as a Los Angeles Times data and graphics journalist and college instructor. In late 2016, Schleuss and a colleague launched the organizing campaign that resulted in an overwhelming victory for the NewsGuild at The Times, whose newsroom had never been unionized.
