Workers At Reviewed.com ‘Go Union,’ Join The Boston Newspaper Guild

(BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS) - Workers at Reviewed.com have formed a Union and are joining the Boston Newspaper Guild, a Local of The NewsGuild-Communications Workers of America (CWA).

A super-majority of Editorial Employees at Reviewed, which is part of the USA TODAY network - from Writers and Editors to its Art, Community, Lab and Operations Teams, have Unionized with the Boston Newspaper Guild, The News Guild (TNG)-CWA Local 31245.

The Editorial Team at Reviewed works together to publish some of the industry’s best product reviews and consumer recommendations.

Workers said they “can’t do our jobs if we’re barely making enough to feed and house ourselves.”

“Our Staff has been organizing for months and we are reclaiming our power to make Reviewed a better place.  By forming a Union, we will position ourselves to fight against wage disparities, expensive health insurance plans, unjust terminations, unclear in-person and remote working policies, a lack of editorial independence, and more.  We’re organizing as Workers for a more fair share of the revenue that we produce for Gannett every day and to struggle against the unilateral austerity measures being imposed by Mike Reed and Gannett leadership which are impacting shops like ours around the country,” the Workers said.

The Workers are also “demanding” Reviewed management voluntarily recognizes their Union.
