In an update to a story we reported on earlier, The Capital Times Co. agreed Thursday to voluntarily recognize a union formed by its reporters.
As a result of the company’s decision, the eight staff reporters agreed to withdraw a petition for an election submitted to the National Labor Relations Board.
“The Capital Times Co. has decided to voluntarily recognize the labor union being formed by Cap Times reporters and we hope to work toward an amicable outcome,” President and Publisher Paul Fanlund said Thursday. “In the meantime, we will continue the excellent reporting and opinion journalism that the community has come to depend upon.”
