RELEASE: Today the workers of Snopes.com won voluntary recognition of their union, the Snopes Guild. The Guild will now begin the process to develop a contract.

Now, Snopes reporters produce complex explainers on celebrity rumors, scientific discoveries and political news — all while combating the day-to-day onslaught of misinformation online.
