Never thought I’d see the day. This is a big deal and I can’t thank lauren gustus and the board enough for recognizing the value our excellent staff bring to the paper and welcoming us as full partners in charting The Trib’s future. What an amazing day!

For those claiming The Tribune is on the brink of economic collapse and the union will sink it, I invite you to look at our 990s. They're public documents. It will be fine. The last thing The Salt Lake Tribune workers want is to hurt The Salt Lake Tribune.

A week ago today, we announced to @SLTrib management our intent to form a union. 4 days later, they recognized us. Voluntary recognition is rare! We want to acknowledge that and express our gratitude. And now, we look forward to working together to make The Tribune even better.
