It's been more than 5 years for me @BusinessInsider. I'm regularly awed and inspired by the journalism this company produces, but I couldn't be prouder than today with the official arrival of the @InsiderUnion.
nytimes.com/2021/04/19/busin…
✊ The @thisisinsider/@BusinessInsider US editorial staff have organized one of the largest @nyguild union drives for a digital media company to secure what we've built and strengthen it.
Here's why 300+ members of our newsroom are taking this step.

ALT A graphic with the following text: "Insider is a transformational force in digital journalism. It’s a place where journalists can do their best work. It’s a place that fights to make journalism a sustainable business. And it’s a place that proves the news can be fair and accurate while also being fun and fearless. "We, the Insider editorial staff, are forming a union with the NewsGuild of New York to secure what we’ve built and strengthen it."
