But seven of our members were also notified this week that they are being laid off. Up to five more would have joined them were it not for savings the union suggested.

This week was bittersweet for our merged union. We were thrilled Monday to ratify our contract after months of bargaining, giving our members needed protections and raises.

Big news! Today the CalMatters Guild went to the bargaining table for the first time. We are so excited to take this step and to get to a contract with management that makes CalMatters the best news outlet to work for in California. Thanks to all for your support so far. Onward!

We’re proud to join our fellow nonprofit newsrooms ✊ As @ObjectiveJrn writes “workers with CalMatters, a nonprofit covering California politics and policy, went public with their intention to seek union recognition after a wildly successful card drive.”

Nonprofit outlets have been slow to unionize, despite their widely-held “savior” status within journalism.

Why is CalMatters staff unionizing? @akoseff: "I love my talented colleagues and want to see them thrive. Together, we can make CalMatters the best newsroom for all of us."
