- We’re proud to announce the CQ Roll Call Guild, part of @newsguild. Congressional Quarterly has covered Congress since 1945 and Roll Call has been a trusted source of Capitol Hill news since the Eisenhower administration.
- 🚨 Our union election is officially set for Monday, January 29! We’re excited to show FiscalNote the overwhelming support among the journalists in our newsroom for stronger job protections and better transparency. Onward to voting!
- Unfortunately, FiscalNote has denied our request for voluntary recognition. While we are disappointed, we are confident we will win an election. We have the votes and will see them at the bargaining table soon.We’re proud to announce the CQ Roll Call Guild, part of @newsguild.

- Fiscal Note thinks it can discourage us from unionizing by sending emails implying that joining the @newsguild will harm our “workplace culture” but we know our voices are stronger when we stand together.
- Replying to @CQRollCallGuildWe’re committed to providing vital information to the decision-makers and power brokers who depend on our fact-based and unbiased coverage. Together we’ll make both publications better -- for those of us who work here and for our readers.
- Replying to @CQRollCallGuildFinal vote: 41 yes votes and just 3 no!!!
- Replying to @CQRollCallGuildFiscal Note’s email says “the union is a business - it relies on you to make money.” But “the union” isn’t some outside force: it’s us, the reporters, editors and photographers who produce the great journalism CQ and Roll Call is known for!
- Replying to @CQRollCallGuildBut under our present corporate ownership, we’ve seen a sharp erosion of our newsroom, with positions going unfilled and a relentless drive to do more with less.
- Replying to @CQRollCallGuildWe’re so proud — and so ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work!!!
- Replying to @CQRollCallGuildFeature writer @saksappeal has watched so many of his CQ Roll Call coworkers depart and their positions go unfilled. That’s why we’re asking @FiscalNote to recognize our union.
- Policy reporter @jessiehellmann and her CQ Roll Call colleagues shouldn’t have to continue doing more with less. That’s why we’re asking @FiscalNote to voluntarily recognize our union.
