The NewsGuild-CWA Racks Up Impressive String of Wins

The NewsGuild has been working hard, and this month, they are celebrating a milestone—more than 90 first contracts won in the last three years!

Recent first contract wins include Repair the World, a non-profit dedicated to service, Jewish engagement, and social change represented by The Washington Baltimore News Guild (TNG-CWA Local 32035). Last week, workers ratified their first contract and won improved floating holidays for religious and cultural observances, extended parental leave, and wage increases. TNG-CWA Local 32035 also celebrated fresh contracts for workers at Common Cause, Duke University Press, and RAICES, including guaranteed wage increases, grievance and arbitration procedures, enhanced benefits, and more.

Journalists at The Salt Lake Tribune, another non-profit newsroom, received voluntary recognition from management one week after going public with their campaign. Workers at the Tribune are represented by the Denver Newspaper Guild (TNG-CWA Local 37074).

Workers at The Palm Beach, The Palm Beach Daily News, The News-Press, and Naples Daily News (TNG-CWA Local 3108) won their first collective bargaining agreements with owner Gannet after nearly four years of negotiations. The agreements guarantee raises for every member in each newsroom. The agreements also freeze healthcare premiums and lock in existing 401(k) matches for members at a time when healthcare costs are skyrocketing.

Congratulations to our newest members, dedicated organizers, and skilled negotiators!
