Employees at The Dallas Morning News and Al Dia Dallas are
moving to form a union.
“With a majority of staff backing the effort,
a delegation of newsroom employees at The Dallas Morning News in solidarity
with our sister publication Al Día Dallas officially asked A.H. Belo Co. to
recognize the Dallas News Guild as a unit of The NewsGuild-Communications
Workers of America,” said a statement from the guild.
This would be the first major newspaper
newsroom in the right-to-work state to unionize in recent history, says the
guild.
Organizers with the union requested voluntary
recognition today from A.H. Belo, The News’ parent company. Recognizing the
union would means negotiations between A.H. Belo and the newsroom staff could
start.
The guild would cover more than 100
journalists across all departments of the newsroom.
