Over more than a year of bargaining, our proposals have sought basic contractual rights that align with those values as we’ve worked to reach a contract that honors ProPublica’s mission.

Instead of working with us to codify those rights, management has struck through many of our proposals, called for broad carve outs and delayed discussion of key provisions such as protections against layoffs and overwork.

Management has: - Denied stewards in performance meetings that could lead to discipline. - Rejected a standard approach to “just cause” and measures to improve transparency in the disciplinary process. - Blocked attempts to ensure jobs will not be replaced by AI.
