UNDERDOG — The Newspaper
Working conditions. Injustices. Truth.
What we are
Investigative. Independent. Clear.
Our newspaper focuses on the economic and working conditions of workers and related topics. We carry out investigative journalism to highlight injustices in the labour market. We profile employers who have particularly caught our attention whilst representing members in labour law disputes.
Many articles from our newspaper can also be found as posts on our blog. We rely on informants and place particular emphasis on protecting their identities.
