Staff of The Real News Network and of the Democratic Socialists of America have received voluntary recognition of the Washington-Baltimore News Guild as their exclusive bargaining representative. The Washington-Baltimore News Guild - CWA, local 32035, continues to expand as just last month editorial staff at Raw Story received recognition of their union as well. The workers said in their petition that they were joining the Guild “in an effort to strengthen our work and to help The Real News fulfill its mission … [its] vital role in the international, national, and local media landscape.” At the Washington office of the Democratic Socialists of America, staffers likewise see their mission as one that empowers workers. Real News writers further went on to say, “Our goal is to bring the Real News’ vision into focus by joining a larger community of other media professionals dedicated to protecting independent media and empowering ourselves as workers.”
