Thursday, September 9, 2010(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Union City has won first place as Best Electronic
Newsletter in the International Labor Communications Association (ILCA) Labor
Media Awards this year, the third consecutive award and the second time winning
top honors. In 2008 Union City won as best State and Local Body
publication and last year it won Honorable Mention in the International,
National and Other Labor Organizations category. “We’re tremendously honored
by this recognition from our peers,” said UC Managing Editor Chris Garlock.
“Chris and Adam (Wright, Assistant Editor) work hard to get the news out to
the local labor community every day,” added Metro Council President Jos
Williams, “even when DC closed down during the February snowstorms, Union
City came out every day, covering the efforts of union members to keep the
metro region moving.” Garlock and Williams credited UC readers “for keeping
us focused,” the Council’s affiliates for their “regular and reliable”
reporting on local activities, and the Executive Board for its “unstinting and
unwavering support.” The 2010 ILCA awards will be formally presented at the
annual Labor Media Awards Luncheon in November.
