Senior business reporter Craig Bettenhausen on C&EN’s union! @WBNG32035
Photo of senior business reporter Craig Bettenhausen in a circle with a black accent off to the left side with “Chemical & Engineering News Guild” in all-caps black and red text. Quote reads, “Forming a union at C&EN provides a way to make sure the institutional knowledge that the general staff brings is not just heard, but incorporated. It also protects staff from hasty decisions made in the face of what can feel like urgent existential situations such as AI and shifting business models at our parent organization.”
