When you think about a news source, think about the unions that represent its workers.
It's easy to remember the Newspaper Guild. But it's easy to forget union labor doesn't end at the keyboard. The best newspapers in the world are staffed hundreds of union employees. Even at the New York Times (and NYTimes.com), more than half of employees are represented by nine unions with 10 labor agreements.

The union label is not always easy to find. But it is there, and should be supported.
