When a union is trying to organize a newspaper’s employees, employers have many rights of communication – and there are many rules to follow.
Union organizing has been largely dormant in the Southeast for many years. However, the NewsGuild recently organized two newspapers in Florida. In August of 2016, the reporters at The Lakeland Ledger voted 22 to three to unionize; the next month, reporters at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune were unionized by a vote of 22 to 16.
This Jan. 19 webinar is designed to be a primer for newspaper executives, management, and supervisors to learn their rights during a union organizing drive.
