Employees at Onion Inc. have voted to unionize, the company announced Thursday.
The media organization manages several properties including the satiric websites, The Onion and Clickhole and the more serious A.V. Club.
The news was first announced in an article on A.V. Club Thursday — which heavily stressed that they were not joking. The piece reposted a letter sent to management of Onion Inc. and Univision, which owns a minority stake in the company.
“By organizing, we intend to protect the culture and values that make Onion Inc. a singularly great place to work and establish a formal means by which the employees have a collective and meaningful voice in our workplace,” they said.
