Fort Worth Star-Telegram agrees to recognize union

 

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has agreed to voluntarily recognize a union for newsroom staff, the paper reported Nov. 2.

Management’s agreeing to recognize the unionizing effort means there is no need for a vote on the issue.

More than 80% of non-management staff signed union authorization cards, the organizing committee said.

The Fort Worth NewsGuild will be part of The NewsGuild-Communications Workers of America.

McClatchy owns the paper.

It’s the second major paper in Texas to go for a union in recent weeks. Newsroom staff at The Dallas Morning News opted in October to unionize.
