New York News Media Workers Vote to Form Union with IAPE-CWA

In July, workers at Schneps Media Network voted overwhelmingly in favor of joining the Independent Association of Publishers’ Employees (IAPE-CWA). The union victory marks an important step forward toward better pay and news standards for community papers in the greater New York City area. IAPE is a part of The NewsGuild-CWA Local 1096.

The worker-led organizing campaign lasted for a year and a half, across numerous local N.Y. news offices, despite a concerted anti-union effort from management, including an onslaught of emails, calls, and one-on-one meetings aimed at swaying workers to vote against forming their union. Workers focused on their goals of livable wages, affordable health care, and stronger editorial guardrails.

“IAPE is thrilled with the monumental win of the Schneps Media Union and looks forward to negotiating with the company to create a fair contract that protects worker rights, ensures fair treatment, and guarantees employees are paid what they deserve for the great work that they do,” said IAPE Local President Jodi Green.

Follow the workers on their website, Instagram, Twitter, and Bluesky. A full mission statement and additional information about the Schneps Media Union is available here.
