The Anchorage News Guild won their NLRB election today in a 13-4 election vote in favor of the union. Anchorage journalists will join the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild, a local union of The NewsGuild-CWA.
The journalists and news staff at Anchorage Daily News filed a petition for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board in September and have now pulled off a historic win, becoming Alaska’s first unionized newspaper.
