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!

Congratulations to our friends at CapRadio and NSPR! Let’s gooooo.

Great news! Thank you to my CalMatters Guild organizing committee colleagues! This rapid recognition (a real victory!) belies a lot of planning, research and hard work by CalMatters journalists dedicated to making journalism in the public interest as good as it can possibly be!

Very excited to be here!

We did it! Thank you to management for voluntary recognizing CalMatters Guild. We're looking forward to building an even greater newsroom together.

Follow up reporting on our big story from last week: we've got ourselves a union!

We’re proud to join our fellow nonprofit newsrooms ✊ As The Objective 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.” objectivejournalism.org/2023/08/the-da…

“With the ProPublica Guild’s recognition and CalMatters Guild heading in that direction, seven of the Institute for Nonprofit News’ 10 largest member newsrooms are now unionized.” objectivejournalism.org/2023/08/the-da…

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