The MinnPost Union supports the employees at Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit news outlet, that announced last week that they are unionizing. They produce important journalism and deserve the protections of a union while having democracy in their workplace.
We love @WisconsinWatch and want to help make it the best it can be. Unionizing allows us to live into our values of fostering an improved citizenry and strengthening democracy. #WeMakeWisconsinWatch

MinnPost Union supports guild members at Crosscut who are fighting against layoffs and restructuring that will eliminate positions doing essential journalism.
Yesterday, Crosscut’s parent company (@CascadePubMedia) announced it intends to lay off five newsroom employees, effective July 1, and replace them with additional video and podcast producers.
