It is always great to hear of another union being formed. Workers representing themselves is not only a benefit for the workers, but also a pathway to healthy and sustainable organisations.

I've not heard of a union representing about 10 people before. Is the idea that they can now all negotiate to have the same benefits and salaries, rather than doing it individually?

Yes, they can collectively bargain for wages, working arrangements, benefits, etc.

the idea, i would guess, is that their boss is sort of a dick, and they were all willing to quit over it, but figured they'd unionize first even if it meant getting fired

> represents approximately 10 eligible editorial staff members
With that few members, you'd think they'd be able to nail down that number a bit fore definitely.

It’s very common for unions to avoid giving out exact numbers of members to make it harder for employers to do union busting.
In this case it wouldn’t matter, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was habit.

The guy in charge of taking attendance lost a finger in a shop accident, so he couldn't count that high with certainty.

Excellent news, apparently only 10 members but still able to get voluntary recognition. A wonderful accomplishment.
