YOU VOTED YES
Dear members:
On June 26, Global Election Services conducted the official vote count for our dues referendum in our Times Square office. Out of 1,828 ballots received, 1,229 were YES votes and 599 were NO.
These results mean our union will continue to be strong enough for the fights ahead – negotiating new or successor agreements, enforcing current contracts and building power in our ranks to secure better working conditions. Your vote to make permanent our current dues rate of 1.75% will ensure our union remains strong for future generations of journalists and workers we represent. We are proud that our union came together in this democratic process, regardless of how you voted, and ultimately decided to invest in the future of our union. As always our doors are open to all of our members and we are here to discuss any and all questions you have.
In solidarity,
Susan DeCarava, President of the NewsGuild of New York
Anthony Napoli, Treasurer
