(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Editorial Workers employed at the Chemical & Engineering News, the independent magazine of the American Chemical Society, have overwhelmingly voted to Unionize with 96% of participants voting in favor of the Union of the Chemical & Engineering News Guild. The win is a historic victory for the Reporters, Designers, Production Staff and Platform Editors who work diligently to craft news and features about the science, business and policy of chemistry. Importantly, it is also a victory for American Chemical Society Members, who’ve shown their support and enthusiasm for a strong and independent chemistry publication. “This is an important first step for the (C&EN) Guild,” Life Sciences Reporter Rowan Walrath said. “We look forward to securing the protections we need to make (C&EN) a great place to work - and an influential publication - for the next (100) years.” Community Content Editor Liam Conlon added: “I’m excited to get to work alongside the rest of the (C&EN) Guild to make sure everyone’s got a seat at the table when it comes to the future of (C&EN).”
