Staffers at three New Jersey newspapers owned by Gannett voted Friday to jointly unionize.
The Record Guild — part of the NewsGuild of New York — represents editorial staff at The Bergen Record, the Daily Record and the New Jersey Herald. They organized over demands for better pay and health benefits, diverse hiring practices and a transparent and standardized system for promotion and pay raises.
Friday’s vote was 59-4, in an election run by the National Labor Relations Board.
