Timesland News Guild certification election moved to April 28

The National Labor Relations Board rescheduled the Timesland News Guild union certification election for April 28. A pre-count conference will begin at 9:30 a.m., and the vote count is set for 10 a.m.

More than 95 percent of The Roanoke Times newsroom staff submitted ballots in this election, and the guild looks forward to an overwhelming victory. This win will allow us a seat at the table with owner Lee Enterprises, and we pledge to use it work for a better product for our digital and print readers and a better place to work for our journalists, photographers, digital and copy editors, designers and support staff.

Technology willing, we will livestream the count on our Facebook page.
