NABET Files an Unfair Labor Practice against Sinclair Broadcasting — FTVLive
The union says they have filed the complaint against Sinclair and its DC station, WJLA.
NaBET says Sinclair took almost 5 years to negotiate the previous collective bargaining agreement. Employees at WJLA make 20% less than the average salary of broadcasting professionals in the area as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"We are fighting for fair pay and to be compensated like the rest of our fellow workers in the market. We’re asking for people to turn of WJLA and not frequent their advertisers until we have gotten a fair contract" WJLA Photographer Rich Guastadisegni said.
