The Chemical & Engineering News Guild has overwhelmingly won its union election, with 96% of participants voting in favor of unionization! @wbng.org @newsguild.org

The C&EN Guild has learned that earlier this week, one of our members was required to attend a meeting concerning discipline without union representation.

As we prepare to bargain our first contract with the American Chemical Society next month, we expect ACS to respect the rights of its bargaining unit employees, and we hope the Society’s leaders come to the bargaining table ready and willing to work with us in good faith.

The C&EN Guild has learned that earlier this week, one of our members was required to attend a meeting concerning discipline without union representation.

Since our bargaining unit was certified in March, C&EN employees across the editorial and operations teams have had the right to union representation during investigatory meetings or discussions that could reasonably lead to discipline or termination.

No employee should be left to navigate a disciplinary process alone while decisions affecting their employment and access to the workplace are being carried out.

Later that day, the employee was directed to leave the building without being permitted to gather their personal belongings, and their badge access was deactivated. This is deeply concerning—and unacceptable.
