propublicaguild.orgProPublica Guild Ratifies First Contract — ProPublica GuildMembers of the ProPublica Guild, which represents more than 150 workers across the nonprofit investigative newsroom, overwhelmingly voted to ratify our first contract on Friday, exactly three years si...
@propublicaguild.org💵 Many of our lowest-paid members will receive an immediate raise, followed by a 4.5% pay increase in 2027. All members are guaranteed a minimum general wage increase each year that averages above 3%. This deal will also help correct regional pay disparities.
@propublicaguild.org🚨 WE HAVE A DEAL! After three years, in a major step forward for our members, we have ratified our first contract with @propublica.org’s management. We deeply appreciate everyone who supported us along the way.
Here are some of our big wins👇

@propublicaguild.org“One of the things that I really care about is making sure that we have transparent pay scales,” says reporter Cassandra Jaramillo, “While I'm very grateful for what I'm able to earn as a reporter, it's not the same story for some of my colleagues in different departments.”
@propublicaguild.orgReporter Lisa Song says that it “just doesn’t make sense” for ProPublica management to require a rigid RTO policy. Our members work long hours and need a flexible RTO policy to do their best work.
@propublicaguild.org“We deserve adequate pay,” says copy editor Julie Kliegman, “That means salary floors that match the cost of living and annual increases that keep up with inflation.”

@propublicaguild.orgClimate reporter Katie Worth wants to see fair wages in our contract, especially for our development team. “I think it’s only fair for a small portion of [ProPublica’s increased revenue] to go toward wage increases that at least keep up with inflation.”
@propublicaguild.org“I care most about a contract that will lift the salary floors of our lowest paid employees so that they can afford to live in the cities that we work in,” says research reporter Kirsten Berg. We deserve a fair contract now!
@propublicaguild.orgVisuals editor Shoshana Gordon uses her paints, brushes, easel and other art supplies in her home office. Doing her job “really wouldn’t be possible” if she had to report to an office. We need a flexible RTO policy that ensures our colleagues can do their work wherever it makes the most sense.
@propublicaguild.org“I believe that all of my colleagues in every department … are doing invaluable work,” says regional office manager Liz Barr, “I don’t believe that any of them can be responsibly replaced with AI.” We deserve a contract that bars management from replacing workers with AI.
@propublicaguild.org“We have people living in areas with wildly different costs of living and currently our pay scales don’t really account for that,” says Texas-based reporter Zach Despart. All of our union members must make a living wage.
@propublicaguild.orgLisa Riordan Seville, senior video producer at @propublica.org: “We're asking for wages that allow people to take care of their families, pay the rising costs of housing and food ... so they can continue to do the kind of work that wins Pulitzers and holds power to account.”
@propublicaguild.org“I’m deeply concerned about wage disparities across the newsroom,” says Jeremy Kohler, a reporter based in St. Louis.
We need @propublica.org management to agree to fair wages in our contract.

@propublicaguild.orgPodcast producer Sabby Robinson knows firsthand how important layoff protections are in a union contract: “I started about 3 months ago, right after I got laid off from the Washington Post.” We deserve seniority-based layoff protections that are standard across the news industry.
@propublicaguild.orgAs ProPublica’s IT support specialist Penny Serrano puts it: “We're just simply asking for a contract that reflects those values — and not just in words but also in wages.”

@propublicaguild.orgNews apps developer Brandon Roberts says it best: No one who works at ProPublica should be living paycheck to paycheck.
