Well, after two very long years, the Staff at the WGAE has finally achieved a first contract. Represented by the good people at the Newspaper Guild of New York, we voted yesterday to approved the contract and will be making an official announcement later on this afternoon.
Congratulations to everyone for all of your hard work and solidarity. In the end, it came down, as it always does, to the unit and we can proudly say we stayed solid as a rock. We now have a union contract on which to build a positive working environment for everyone.
We will be celebrating at some point in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for an invite and for more information on a contract orientation and shop election.
Yippee!
