Big news! We, the staff of @CalMatters, are unionizing! We’re taking this step with 92% of staff in support. Here’s our mission statement.
This week was bittersweet for our merged union. We were thrilled Monday to ratify our contract after months of bargaining, giving our members needed protections and raises.
We are devastated to lose such talented, kind, & exceptional colleagues who did crucial and impactful work for our newsroom. We are rallying to give them additional cushion as begin their job search, and we would greatly appreciate if you would help:

Big news! Today the CalMatters Guild went to the bargaining table for the first time.
We are so excited to take this step and to get to a contract with management that makes CalMatters the best news outlet to work for in California. Thanks to all for your support so far. Onward!
Solidarity to our friends at the LA Times!
🦅THE L.A. TIMES GUILD IS WALKING OUT🦅
We are calling for a one-day walkout TOMORROW, Jan. 19, in protest of management's proposal to cut staff and multiple unfair labor practices.

We did it! Thank you to management for voluntary recognizing @calmattersguild. We're looking forward to building an even greater newsroom together.
🚨Some Monday afternoon news🚨
Just six days after we announced our union, we won voluntary recognition with 92% support of eligible staff members from across CalMatters!
Thank you to so many of our fellow journalists and peer guilds for the outpouring of support over the last week and for paving the way ✊
We’re proud to join our fellow nonprofit newsrooms ✊ As @ObjectiveJrn writes “workers with CalMatters, a nonprofit covering California politics and policy, went public with their intention to seek union recognition after a wildly successful card drive.” objectivejournalism.org/2023…

Why is CalMatters staff unionizing?
@akoseff: "I love my talented colleagues and want to see them thrive. Together, we can make CalMatters the best newsroom for all of us."
