In July 2016, he was re-elected for an additional 4-year term as Chairman of the Union of Journalists in Israel.

Since the founding of the Union of Journalists in 2012, Tarchitsky has served as its chairman. During his tenure more than 3,000 journalists have joined the union and he has unionized more than 25 media outlets, making journalism one of the most unionized sectors in the country. As chairman of the union he has led important moves to strengthen the status of journalists and freedom of press, including, among others, struggles against covert advertising, police and army violence towards journalists, political interference in public broadcasting and more.

While working in Haaretz, he became active in the Journalists Association in Tel Aviv and led a move to revive it. Following his efforts, the Association enlisted 400 young journalists as members. Tarchitsky was known for his critique of the Association and its dysfunction as a union. Increasingly frustrated with the Association's inabilities to overcome its structural flaws, he left it in late 2011 and established the Union of Journalists in Israel as part of the Histadrut, Israel's largest trade union.
