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.

[CalMatters/The Markup Guild @calmattersguild]

We are devastated to lose such talented, kind, & exceptional colleagues who did crucial and impactful work for our newsroom. We are rallying to give them additional cushion as begin their job search, and we would greatly appreciate if you would help:

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!

Solidarity to our friends at the LA Times!

🦅THE L.A. TIMES GUILD IS WALKING OUT🦅

We are calling for a one-day walkout TOMORROW, Jan. 19, in protest of management's proposal to cut staff and multiple unfair labor practices.

[CalMatters/The Markup Guild @calmattersguild]

Thank you to so many of our fellow journalists and peer guilds for the outpouring of support over the last week and for paving the way ✊

[CalMatters/The Markup Guild @calmattersguild]

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.” https://t.co/LWZgwtZwfo

[The Objective @ObjectiveJrn]

“With the @propublicaguild’s recognition and @calmattersguild heading in that direction, seven of the Institute for Nonprofit News’ 10 largest member newsrooms are now unionized.” https://t.co/sXcM8bMJUa

[CalMatters/The Markup Guild @calmattersguild]

Happy Friday! We’re headed into the weekend knowing our coworkers overwhelmingly support each other! #GuildMatters
