Ready to Strike: More Than 80% of ProPublica Guild Members Have Signed a Pledge Saying They Are Prepared to Strike Unless ProPublica Agrees to a Fair Contract

ProPublica Guild represents reporters, editors, designers, videographers, and business and communications staff at the award-winning nonprofit news organization and is a bargaining unit of The NewsGuild of New York. Members have been working toward their first contract since the nonprofit newsroom voluntarily recognized the union in August 2023.

Guild members are fighting for job security, a fair disciplinary process, wages that reflect the value of their work and clear guardrails around AI.

After more than two years of bargaining, the pledge by ProPublica Guild makes clear that they are committed to doing what it takes to win the contract they deserve.

Going on strike means they will likely lose pay – a sacrifice they are willing to make to win a fair contract. To support these members who cannot afford to miss a day’s pay, members of the ProPublica Guild have launched a strike fund. Stand with ProPublica Guild members, donate if you’re able and help us remind management that these workers are ProPublica!
