Journalists at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram plan to form a union, and management agreed on Monday to recognize the organizing effort, averting the need for a vote.
Steve Coffman, president and editor of the Star-Telegram, said voluntary recognition is the right path.
“We share overarching goals to preserve local journalism and produce work that is essential to the lives of people in our community,” he said. “I look forward to our continued efforts on those fronts and more.”
The Fort Worth NewsGuild will be a unit of The NewsGuild-Communications Workers of America.
