Thanks to everyone who's shown support since we announced our intent to unionize last week! We represent dozens of OPB and KMHD reporters, hosts, producers and more. We've asked union members to share why they're here, along with photos they took. Here are a few.
The content creators at Oregon Public Broadcasting and KMHD Jazz Radio are proud to announce we’re forming a union with SAG-AFTRA. We believe this is a crucial next step in ensuring OPB and KMHD continue to support great storytelling and storytellers.
A reminder that if you don’t already have @sharonjones and The Dap Kings’ “It’s a Holiday Soul Party”- you should go to your closest record store and get it now. I bust it out every year and it is always pure gold! Check out my review for @KMHD_Jazz_Radio https://t.co/bcnWrp1OXp

@gabrielkahane I really loved playing this solo percussion piece, “Swell” by Portland composer, Christina Rusnack this past fall. Had a ton of fun performing it! https://t.co/2tU8YjFy7U

One of my very best friends died this weekend of a stroke at age 42. She was totally healthy otherwise & donated her organs. She leaves behind 3 children. If you have room in your wallet to help her kids, consider donating: https://t.co/KEzEbS1BMr
