Gawker Media's editorial staff elected 3 to 1 to unionize Wednesday in a landmark vote. Gawker becomes the first digital media company to organize, a result that could be repeated at other platforms. Labor observers are encouraged by the vote's result, remarking that it shows labor has a place among younger, tech-savvy workers. Gawker employees will next work to decide on a bargaining platform and negotiate their first contract.
