That’s the first line of an email message that employees of the Chattanooga Times Free Press received from a group that calls itself Workers of the Times Free Press and that claims to be behind an effort to unionize the paper.
“We are currently staying anonymous simply because some of the people behind the effort only wanted to proceed if they could stay behind the veil initially,” a spokesperson from the group said via email. “The plan is to test the level of interest—which so far seems to be strong—and to gauge the nature of management's response before deciding on the timing for going on the record with who comprises the initial organizing team.”
