We of the Noisy Union have become aware of some speculation regarding The Stranger's primary election endorsements. We are confident in the integrity of this slate of endorsements, and encourage concerned parties to read the SECB's full reasoning when our endorsements go live on the site tomorrow.

Today, unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality and accuracy of our journalism.

Street Roots' board of directors notified the NLRB that it will not voluntarily recognize the Street Roots Workers Guild on Dec. 9, and violated federal labor law by failing to post notice of our election by the end of the day yesterday. 1/

Text reads: "Street Roots' board of directors notified the NLRB that it will not voluntarily recognize the Street Roots Workers Guild on Dec. 9, and violated federal labor law by failing to post notice of our election by the end of the day yesterday."

Text reads: "The Guild — which represents the 15 union-eligible workers who unanimously authorized the union — is disappointed by this news and particularly disappointed by the reason the board gave for refusing to voluntarily recognize: they want to exclude 2 of our colleagues. As an organization that touts its efforts of social justice and equity, we see this as a failure of the board to carry out its mission."

Text reads: "The NLRB defines "supervisors" as having the power to hire, fire, discipline, promote, or assign tasks to workers. These 2 employees do not hold those powers. The Street Roots Workers Guild membership remains steadfast in its calls for the board to recogniez the Guild and all its members immediately. Please show your support by signing the petition at the link in our bio (below), and sharing this widely!"

We're in bargaining for our first contract this morning! This process takes weeks, at times, so it's a marathon—not a sprint. Today, management will present their response to our initial proposal.

This is fantastic—when I left The Stranger ten years ago, I was paid almost half that, at $40K. Their reporters are still way underpaid, but I'm glad to see them fight for and win a significant raise.

We did it! Noisy Union won raises of at least 20 percent and a new wage floor of $70k. Bringing everyone up to $70k means a $15k raise for some of our members!

Index News Media is preparing to voluntarily recognize our union! @indexmediaunion.bsky.social You all should hear more from us about this sometime in the next couple days—maybe even today! I’m proud of management for working with us to swiftly recognize our unionized workforce.

For decades, workers at The Stranger, the Portland Mercury, EverOut, and Bold Type Tickets have fostered an alternative voice in Pacific Northwest media. Today, we have asked the upper management at Index Media to voluntarily recognize our union.
