About Union Times Today
Union Times Today is an independent digital newspaper covering Unions, Labor Rights, Workplace, Courts & Justice and Labor Law. Work is where most people meet the law: a wage on Friday, a schedule that keeps changing, a charge filed with an agency, a ruling that quietly rewrites a rule for millions. It is part of VUGA Network, a group of independent digital publications published in the United States.
About Union Times Today
Analysis and explanation are the format. A story does not stop at what a board ruled or a bill proposed: it explains what changed, who it binds, when it takes effect and how the last version of the same fight ended. Reporting continues after a story has stopped being new.
What We Cover
Unions covers the labor movement itself — organizing drives, election petitions, bargaining tables, strike deadlines and union governance filings — following a campaign from card drive to first contract with the numbers and filings behind each step. Labor Rights covers the rules that govern a job and what happens when they break: wage and hour enforcement, safety investigations, discrimination suits and misclassification fights, each story anchored to a filing, an inspection or a docket. Workplace looks at the job itself: pay and benefits data, staffing and scheduling practices, automation on the shop floor and in the office. Courts & Justice follows employment and labor litigation from docket to decision — NLRB rulings, appeals arguments, Supreme Court grants — with outcomes reported, never predicted. Labor Law tracks the written rules from bill to effective date, and Legal News files the record of decisions issued, filings docketed and enforcement actions opened.
Union claims, employer claims and agency findings are reported as what each of them is, against the record. Public relations copy is not run as news.
