Urge Management at The Journal Times to Voluntarily Recognize Journalists of the Racine NewsGuild
Lee Enterprises, The Journal Times Management
As of September 24, 2024, the journalists at The Journal Times are organizing under the Racine NewsGuild, and we need your support to urge management to voluntarily recognize our union!
A supermajority of our newsroom has signed authorization cards to join the Racine NewsGuild, part of the NewsGuild-CWA. This union will give us a collective voice in shaping the future of our newspaper, advocating for better working conditions, job security, and fair compensation.
If management refuses to voluntarily recognize our union, it will delay important negotiations that are crucial for ensuring our workplace thrives amidst the challenges facing local journalism today. We believe that our voices are vital to delivering quality news and fostering a collaborative environment.
Racine NewsGuild Mission Statement: The Racine NewsGuild is dedicated to representing the journalists of The Journal Times and serving our community.

We seek to address issues like pay equity, workload management, and job security, ensuring our newsroom is equipped to serve our readers effectively.
Together, we can restore the proud tradition of The Journal Times as a vital resource for Racine County. If you believe in our mission, please sign our petition and join us in asking management to voluntarily recognize the Racine NewsGuild! Let’s work together for a brighter future for local journalism.
