Great news: Our union has been voluntarily recognized!

"We welcome WLRN content creators to SAG-AFTRA. It’s amazing to see additional public media employees organizing for power and we look forward to the employer's response to the voluntary recognition request,” said SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.
The workers of WLRN have come together with @sagaftra and made public our intention to unionize. We love where we work, and we want to be part of the conversation to make it better. We've asked management for voluntary recognition
