Staffers at The Record, 2 other NJ news sites vote to unionize
Staffers at three New Jersey newspapers owned by Gannett voted Friday to jointly unionize.
The Record Guild – part of the NewsGuild of New York – represents editorial staff at The Record, the Daily Record and New Jersey Herald. They organized over demands for better pay and health benefits, diverse hiring practices as well as a transparent and standardized system for promotion and pay raises.
Friday’s vote was 59-4, in an election run by the National Labor Relations Board.
“It is just a great day for our Guild, and I am proud of our members,” said Katie Sobko, a reporter for The Record the past 10 years who is one of the union organizers. “But our work doesn’t stop here.”
