Reporters at the Cap Times have formed a union.
They told management on April 30 and now seek voluntary recognition.
The union is called the Cap Times News Guild and includes eight reporters who are not in editor roles, the Cap Times reported.
According to a statement from the union, it “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.”

The union-seeking reporters filed a petition for an election with the National Labor Relations Board. However, they will withdraw it if they are voluntarily recognized.
