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.
