Noisy Union

We are the union of The Stranger, the Portland Mercury, Bold Type Tickets, and the EverOut calendar team.
Our name changed from Index Media Union in Sept 2024, after the pubs were purchased.

Street Roots' board of directors notified the NLRB that it will not voluntarily recognize the Street Roots Workers Guild on Dec. 9, and violated federal labor law by failing to post notice of our election by the end of the day yesterday. 1/

We're in bargaining for our first contract this morning! This process takes weeks, at times, so it's a marathon—not a sprint. Today, management will present their response to our initial proposal.

This is fantastic—when I left The Stranger ten years ago, I was paid almost half that, at $40K. Their reporters are still way underpaid, but I'm glad to see them fight for and win a significant raise.
We did it! Noisy Union won raises of at least 20 percent and a new wage floor of $70k. Bringing everyone up to $70k means a $15k raise for some of our members!

Index News Media is preparing to voluntarily recognize our union! @indexmediaunion.bsky.social

You all should hear more from us about this sometime in the next couple days—maybe even today!

I’m proud of management for working with us to swiftly recognize our unionized workforce.

For decades, workers at The Stranger, the Portland Mercury, EverOut, and Bold Type Tickets have fostered an alternative voice in Pacific Northwest media.

Today, we have asked the upper management at Index Media to voluntarily recognize our union.
