BREAKING: We are officially a union!

Workers at @kcur – including sister station Classical KC and collaborations with Harvest Public Media, NPR's Midwest Newsroom, and the Kansas News Service – have overwhelmingly voted to unionize with @CWAUnion.

It’s a great day to unionize your workplace.

former @kcur contractor here saying fuck yeah!! kcur is what it is because of the people and community, and those voices should have a major share of the conversation about the station's future.

Glad that you guys are doing this. Forming a union has been good for our shop at The Star. Pay raises, much better mileage reimbursement, having a say in how your performance is measured and other rights.
