The Guild has transformed itself in recent years, thanks to rising rank-and-file militancy and innovative organizing tactics. Since 2020, the Guild has organized 210 workplaces, including some of the largest media organizations in the U.S. That includes 600 tech workers at the New York Times (the largest unionized tech unit in the country), 226 workers at Politico, and 180 workers at The Atlantic magazine, as well as smaller operations like 20 workers at the Anchorage Daily News.

Republic Services strikes saw around 450 waste collection workers continue their strike amid unsuccessful contract negotiations with Teamsters Local 25 entering the July 4 holiday weekend.

The union is pushing for a meaningful offer on critical issues such as workload, wages and workplace culture, which they believe the WSIB has neglected.
