Fair Contract Now for ProPublica Guild

ProPublica President Robin Sparkman and Editor in Chief Stephen Engelberg

We, the workers of ProPublica, provide our readers with deeply researched, unbiased news that holds power to account. This work is more important now than ever, but our staff can’t properly contribute to fearless investigative journalism while walking on eggshells around our bosses.

We are fighting for a fair contract that includes industry-standard “just cause” job security, a fair and transparent disciplinary process, union steward representation when requested and guardrails ensuring artificial intelligence does not replace journalists. Our management has said no to all these common-sense protections that we deserve.

You can support us by continuing to support ProPublica and by telling our management that you demand a ProWorker ProPublica!

I stand in solidarity with members of the ProPublica Guild, who deserve industry-standard job protections so that they can continue supporting and producing the fearless reporting that led us to read ProPublica’s work. Agree to a fair contract with just cause protections, guardrails around the use of artificial intelligence and guarantees of a fair disciplinary process now.
