The BuzzFeed News Union is on the brink of receiving official recognition from BuzzFeed Inc. after months of attempted negotiations, the union confirmed in a tweet Friday.

“We’re excited to share that we have reached a voluntary recognition agreement with BuzzFeed,” the tweet read. “On Tuesday, a third party will conduct a card check. Once that’s completed, our union will be certified. And we can’t wait to celebrate our victory once it’s official!”
