Canadian employees at The Athletic will have our second bargaining session with the company today, as we work collectively to negotiate a fair contract.
The bargaining committee has our full support! ✊
The Athletic's Ontario workers voted decisively yesterday in their OLRB election 15-1 in favour of unionization.
We strongly believe The Athletic is a federal employer in Canada and that all workers belong in a single bargaining unit. This vote signals our strength and unity in the steps ahead.
Our American colleagues belong in the Times Guild. Sports jobs are Times Guild jobs.
By organizing, we want to ensure that The Athletic — a place we’re proud to work — will be an employer that supports us, treats us well, compensates us fairly, and gives us a seat at the table.

The Athletic is a unique and valuable voice in Canadian sports media.
Its Canadian employees take great pride in the reputation we've helped build and the standard we've set.
That's why we're taking steps to unionize our workplace. Our mission statement:
We are the Canadian workers of The Athletic and this morning we filed with the Canadian Industrial Relations Board our intent to unionize with CWA Canada.
Later today, we'll do the same with the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
Join us as we organize.
