Voluntarily Recognize The Cap Times NewsGuild!!!
Paul Fanlund, Publisher & President and Mark Treinen, Editor
On April 30, reporters at the Cap Times announced we have formed our union and are seeking voluntary recognition from newspaper management. The Cap Times NewsGuild includes all of the news organization’s reporters, making up the entirety of union eligible workers on staff.
Our union believes that in-depth, accountability journalism that serves the community starts by building that same accountability within. We want to construct the systems that propel the values we hope journalism can create in our community: transparency, fairness and diversity
How to help:
Below is the petition we will send to Cap Times management calling for them to voluntarily recognize our union. Join us in urging the company to voluntarily recognize the Cap Times News Guild and begin bargaining with us immediately!
Your support could make all the difference as management weighs their decision and response!

We’re standing together to support the Cap Times reporters as they form the Cap Times NewsGuild.
On April 30, reporters at the Cap Times announced they have formed a union and are seeking voluntary recognition from newspaper management. The Cap Times NewsGuild includes all of the news organization’s reporters, making up the entirety of union eligible workers on staff.
The Cap Times NewsGuild seeks to preserve the progressive, forward-thinking legacy that the Cap Times has held in Madison for over 100 years. Their mission is to maintain the paper's commitment of delivering quality journalism to Madisonians by bringing democratic structures into the newsroom, with the ultimate goal of serving Cap Times readers.
I hope you will recognize their union voluntarily and urge you to do so. These workers deserve the same fairness, transparency and respect that readers expect from the Cap Times.
