In the wake of the New York Times story last weekend about sexual misconduct allegations against the former president of the NewsGuild's Pittsburgh local, Washington-Baltimore News Guild president Steve Cook on Wednesday reminded the local’s members that the union “has zero tolerance for sexual harassment and assault by any of our leaders—whether at the local or unit level—staff or representatives, and we are committed to investigating any such allegations quickly and fairly for violations of the CWA’s Policy on Mutual Respect.” Cook added that while “Investigations inside the workplace are primarily the responsibility of HR,” members who “have information about such misconduct in our union at any level—CWA, the NewsGuild, or the Washington-Baltimore News Guild” are urged to contact WBNG leadership. Harassment complaints or tips also may be sent to [email protected]. Cook also shared an open letter from News Guild president Jon Schleuss declaring “No place for harassment in our union.”
