We’re proud to announce the CQ Roll Call Guild, part of @newsguild. Congressional Quarterly has covered Congress since 1945 and Roll Call has been a trusted source of Capitol Hill news since the Eisenhower administration.

🚨 Our union election is officially set for Monday, January 29!
We’re excited to show FiscalNote the overwhelming support among the journalists in our newsroom for stronger job protections and better transparency.
Onward to voting!

Unfortunately, FiscalNote has denied our request for voluntary recognition. While we are disappointed, we are confident we will win an election.
We have the votes and will see them at the bargaining table soon.

Fiscal Note thinks it can discourage us from unionizing by sending emails implying that joining the @newsguild will harm our “workplace culture” but we know our voices are stronger when we stand together.

We’re committed to providing vital information to the decision-makers and power brokers who depend on our fact-based and unbiased coverage. Together we’ll make both publications better -- for those of us who work here and for our readers.

Fiscal Note’s email says “the union is a business - it relies on you to make money.” But “the union” isn’t some outside force: it’s us, the reporters, editors and photographers who produce the great journalism CQ and Roll Call is known for!

But under our present corporate ownership, we’ve seen a sharp erosion of our newsroom, with positions going unfilled and a relentless drive to do more with less.

Feature writer @saksappeal has watched so many of his CQ Roll Call coworkers depart and their positions go unfilled. That’s why we’re asking @FiscalNote to recognize our union.

Policy reporter @ArielCohen37 is part of CQ Roll Call’s long tradition of recruiting the best journalists to cover Congress. But through layoffs and attrition, some of those talented reporters have left. That’s why we’re asking @FiscalNote to voluntarily recognize our guild.

Politico reporters on Capitol Hill want a good contract with fair pay, good benefits and job protections.
I'm grateful for the @penguild bargaining committee fighting week in and week out to make Politico a better place to work!

The staffs of The Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press won't do any work for Alden Global Capital on Feb. 1 in protest of their ongoing refusal to pay us what we're worth.

L.A. Times management has notified me that 94 @latguild members are being notified of intended layoff today, or about one-fourth of our whole membership.
This total, while devastating, is nonetheless far lower than the total number of Guild layoffs initially expected last week.
