Join us in solidarity with the Signal Ohio News Workers Guild. Congratulations to the members of the Signal Ohio News Workers Guild (SONWG) for coming together to start a union! We are excited to support their campaign. We're calling on CEO Rita McNeil Danish and the Signal Ohio Board of Directors to voluntarily recognize SONWG and start negotiations. swipe right to sign the union's petition

The labor local media workers do, keeping community members informed and holding politicians accountable, is essential. All workers deserve to collectively bargain with their employers and weigh in on important decisions that affect them. A union is crucial to protecting these rights.

‼️UPDATE‼️

Today, we filed a petition for the National Labor Review Board to monitor an election by City Bureau workers on certifying our union. While we are in communication with City Bureau’s leadership, they still haven’t recognized our union.
