Arizona Republic and its newsroom union agree on 2-year contract

Posted

The Arizona Republic and its newsroom staffers have agreed on a two-year contract that provides a framework for benefits, wages and working conditions for employees.

A tentative agreement, negotiated between The Republic and local members of Media Guild of the West, was reached in December.
