Employees of The Intercept Ratify Historic Union Contract
---------------------------------------------------------

And employees of the investigative news outlet The Intercept have
ratified their first-ever union contract. The deal, which has the
unanimous support of members of the Writers Guild of America, East,
guarantees workers pay increases and paid parental leave. And in a
first-of-its-kind provision, the deal guarantees that future interviews
for job openings must include at least two candidates from traditionally
underrepresented groups in journalism, including women, people of color
and members of the LGBTQ community.
