June 21, 2018This morning, staffers at The Appeal a nonprofit news site focused primarily on issues of criminal justice made the sort of announcement that’s become remarkably commonplace over the past couple of years: They were forming a union. And honestly, these days, that move is as much about a tweet as a filing with the NLRB.
We ask @theappeal to voluntarily recognize our union so that we can get to work on improving The Appeal’s workplace culture and conditions.

With a union, workers and management can turn a corner together, rectify working conditions, and produce more powerful and mission-driven journalism.

HOLDEN “For as long as I can remember, I’ve been making up stories in my head,” Eileen Charbonneau said. “It’s not something I ever did purposely. It just happened naturally.”

“I can remember as a young child, looking at pictures in magazines and visualizing stories to go with them. I daydreamed a lot when I was a kid. This sometimes got me into some trouble in school,” Charbonneau said. “However, I now believe it was simply natural for me. I wasn’t purposely goofing off. It was just part of how I’m made.

Take a trip back 30 years and listen to what the old-timers experienced. A sample: I went to the ladies room and the rubber around the leg band in my underwear completely melted. Completely melted. I had to pry it off my legs. I still have scars on my inner thighs to this day.”

Arizona never runs out of stories about mobsters and rich Arizonans getting scammed in investment fraud schemes. This one involved not land or horse tracks, but cryptocurrency, that weird, computer-generated money that nobody really understands.
