I didn't get to cover this, but CBS News Digital Union was formed earlier this month by the 46 members of CBS News Digital—that section of the newsroom controls "CBSNews.com, its mobile website, social media channels and the CBS News app." They had four major issues they outlined in their letter to management which they hoped to resolve through unionization, which were:
Transparency: Open and honest communication is essential in our industry, and we want to ensure that management is consulting with employees on major decisions that affect CBS News Digital.
Equitable and Fair Compensation and Benefits: We want to ensure that we are being paid fair, respectable and liveable salaries. We need clear and comprehensive job descriptions, competitive compensation, fair benefits and financial recognition for taking on extra projects and working holidays, weekends and nights. We want a standard for raises and a streamlined pathway to grow within CBS News.
Diversity: To create content that is truly reflective of America, we need to have a diverse and inclusive team. It is vital to our mission as journalists to show all viewpoints and have employees from all backgrounds. We want a workplace where every employee is treated equally and will receive the respect they deserve.
[and] Editorial standards: As employees of one of the most prestigious and well-respected news organizations in the world, excellence is demanded of us every day. We want standard guidelines around what will be produced editorially and be allowed to produce outstanding quality journalism.
Hopefully they will be able to swiftly bargain with CBS on these points given that they've been voluntarily recognized!
