NEW YORK — Unionized journalists at Sports Illustrated have won a new three-year contract that raises salary floors, saves on health care, protects remote work and enshrines protections on artificial intelligence.
Sports Illustrated Union, which represents 64 journalists at the legendary sports media organization, ratified the contract deal with publisher Minute Media on Monday. The deal wraps up nearly a year and a half of bargaining with Minute, which took over as publisher in 2024 after the previous publisher, The Arena Group, lost its license to publish SI.
“This contract upholds the principles and protections we fought so hard for four years ago,” says Dan Falkenheim, a fact checker and the SI Union’s unit chair. “After our members have experienced more than their fair share of instability because of ownership changes beyond our control, we are thrilled to have a contract that values our work and provides a strong foundation for Sports Illustrated’s future at Minute Media.”
