Bargaining Committee Celebrates Recent Successes

Members of the WHYY bargaining committee celebrated another successful round of negotiations in downtown Philadelphia on Feb. 20. 

The unit has already achieved a number of important tentative agreements with the station. While it will take some time for final ratification, the hard work undertaken shows progress toward a fully binding, collective bargaining agreement for union broadcasters, the first for the station since voting to join SAG-AFTRA on Oct. 30.
