Employees of 澳门跑狗论坛 are taking steps to unionize and be represented by the Washington-Baltimore News Guild.

An organizing committee of employees at 澳门跑狗论坛 informed the nonprofit company鈥檚 senior leaders Tuesday, Aug. 29, of its intention and also requested voluntary recognition. The letter included 26 signatories from across the company.

澳门跑狗论坛鈥檚 senior leaders turned down that request late Tuesday.
