NEW YORK -- The Huffington Post's management has voluntarily recognized its employees' union, making the digital media outlet the largest ever to organize.

"I am delighted to let you know that we have reached an agreement with the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) to proceed to voluntary recognition by counting signed union cards," Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, said in an email to staff.

"Assuming a majority, we will recognize the union," she continued. "We look forward to a great relationship with our union as we work together to take The Huffington Post to new heights across the world."

HuffPost employees, represented by the Writers Guild of America, East, sought recognition from management in December after announcing that a majority of editorial staffers had signed union cards signaling their support.
