The digital journalists at The Seattle Times ended a decades-long, arbitrary divide within the company last fall by voting to unionize and join our peers in the existing Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild, which already represented more than 100 employees at the paper who are not categorized as “digital” employees.
The official process itself took four months, preceded by more than one year of organizing and several years of conversations among colleagues.

The Columbus Crew opens the 2021 Major League Soccer season this Sunday against the Philadelphia Union but will be missing one of the team’s best players. Midfielder Darlington Nagbe will be out for the first MLS contest of the year with a left hamstring injury he sustained in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 game against Real Esteli.
Nagbe was subbed off in the second half of that April 8 match in Nicaragua and was unavailable for the second leg in Columbus this past Thursday from the nagging hamstring. He is currently listed as “questionable” on the team’s injury report for the Union match but head coach Caleb Porter informed the media on Saturday afternoon that Nagbe will not play on Sunday.

Columbus Crew fans received unfortunate news on Saturday morning. The club announced that young midfielder Aidan Morris will be out for 9-12 months with a severe Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in his left knee. He will undergo ACL reconstruction and sit out the 2021 season to recover.
Morris fell hard to the pitch in pain from a non-contact play in Thursday night’s win against Real Esteli in the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16. He left the match in just the ninth minute and was seen watching in a full leg brace for the duration of the second half.
