On Monday of this week (July 15, 2024), workers at the 154-year-old Salt Lake Tribune went public with their intent to form a union; they're the latest major newspaper to see such an effort, and they've demanded voluntary recognition by today from the outlet.
UPDATE: Rounding out quite a day of news, the Tribune has agreed to voluntarily recognize the union!
Having considered the newsroom employees’ stated concerns and the interest expressed, today we are pleased to share that we have reached an agreement to voluntarily recognize a newsroom bargaining unit. We look forward to working with Tribune employees in good faith, as we solve challenges together and continue our long tradition of outstanding journalism.
