Reporters at investigative journalism nonprofit ProPublica announced Wednesday they are unionizing, bringing an industry-wide wave of labor organizing to a somewhat unexpected corner of the media world.
The announcement, timed to ProPublica’s 15th anniversary comes as its corporate peers have been grappling with layoffs and cutbacks that have stoked employee discontent. By comparison, ProPublica — a donor-supported nonprofit that counted more than $57 million in assets on its most recently available tax forms — has been comparatively insulated from the economic challenges of the industry.
Cassandra Jaramillo, a national reporter for ProPublica, said she was initially surprised when a union organizer approached her about the effort because “a lot of people love working at ProPublica.” But now, Jaramillo and other ProPublica staffers who have joined the union say they hope it provides them with more of a voice in how ProPublica runs.
The managers noted that Sparkman told the staff two years ago that they are welcome to seek union representation if they wish. “ProPublica has a long history of productive collaboration on core issues notably diversity, equity, inclusion and retention,” they wrote. “We share the union’s desire to ensure that the ProPublica of tomorrow is as strong, if not stronger, as it is today.
