openDemocracy has agreed to voluntarily recognise an employee union.
Staff and management signed an agreement last week formalising a National Union of Journalists (NUJ) chapel at the organisation.
Michelle Stanistreet, NUJ general secretary, said: “The recognition of the NUJ at openDemocracy is fantastic news. We are very pleased to have come to an amicable decision and look forward to working collaboratively going forward. I would also like to offer congratulations to all the members who have worked at the outlet to achieve collective recognition and an independent voice at work.”
