Today, we — the hosts, reporters, producers, digital content creators and others — of WLRN are proud to announce our intent to unionize with @SAGAFTRA, becoming the first public radio station in Florida to do so. #WeMakeWLRN
If you love @Stranger_Things, maybe you should consider supporting your local radio station. It's what Rockin' Robin & Steve would want. @WLRN is vital to Miami like WSQK is to Hawkins! Plus, Florida is kinda like the Upside Down sometimes (curious and law-defying)
Starting 2025 union strong! 💪🏼 Today we officially kicked off bargaining. We're excited to begin negotiating a contract that supports the workers who make WLRN, so that we can continue to serve our audience across South Florida and beyond. @sagaftra#WeMakeWLRN
Great news: Our union has been voluntarily recognized!
We are very optimistic about the choice to voluntarily recognize our union, and expect that it will be the beginning of a fruitful relationship between station management and our new union with @sagaftra. #WeMakeWLRN
"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.
Congrats to the workers of WLRN in Miami for becoming the FIRST public media station in Florida to unionize with SAG-AFTRA! We’re thrilled to have you join our family ❤️
We’re excited to join @SAGAFTRA alongside our colleagues at NPR and member stations across the country, including KPCC, WFAE, KUOW, MPR, NHPR, WAMU, WBEZ, WBUR, WHYY and WNYC. #WeMakeWLRN#wemakepublicmedia#standwithworkers
