How do news outlets actually find out when things like this happen? Are they tipped off by an disgruntled (ex) employee?

Any news worth its salt will have a source in the article vouching to the story:

>The CWA filed a new labor complaint against the company on Wednesday, the second such complaint in about a month.

>“These decisions have left Grindr dangerously understaffed and raises questions about the safety, security and stability of the app for users,” Erick Cortez, a member of the organizing group, said in the statement. “It is clear Grindr wants workers to be silenced and deterred from exercising our right to organize, regardless of the expense.”

In this case, the forming union group reported it, likely after getting info from some manager who talked about it. Or perhaps estimating based on some internal metrics.
