HuffPost Ratifies Union Contract

  -  

The Huffington Post ratified its first union contract, becoming the largest digital news site to collectively bargain amid a series of newsroom organizing drives. For the more than 200 employees covered by the union, there will be across-the-board raises. The contract features new language ensuring editorial independence and enhancing newsroom diversity, along with specific provisions regarding comp time, discipline, dismissal, and severance in the event of layoffs.  

“This landmark agreement demonstrates that collective bargaining works,” says Lowell Peterson, executive director of the Writers Guild of America, East. “Our large and engaged negotiating committee worked tirelessly to communicate the real concerns of WGAE-represented employees, and the company’s bargaining team was respectful and responsive. We are building a strong movement of digital journalists in perilous times. The writers, editors, and producers at The Huffington Post have achieved real gains by unionizing, and there are now 500 digital journalists covered by WGAE-negotiated contracts.”
