Gawker Staffers Urge New Owners to Respect Union Contract
"We have no desire or inclination to work under terms other than our existing union contract."

Last summer, Gawker staffers overwhelmingly voted to join the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE). Now, with an impending sale looming, the company’s staffers have said a good relationship with new owners is only possible under the terms of that contract.
“This contract, the product of much painstaking work, is the framework under which we have all agreed to work for a period of three years,” read the Gawker statement.
