Adam Grosbard: Why we need a union

I grew up in Pasadena, and know how a paper like the Star-News can be an institution in communities. But local news can't survive when newsrooms are gutted, employees are asked to do several people's jobs and reporters don't have a seat at the table to demand accountability from management, just as we as an institution demand accountability from those we cover.
