Newly unionized employees joined IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographer’s Guild, which represents 13 other broadcast news stations across the United States. The union has since filed three other cases, each alleging News-Press & Gazette has refused to bargain in good faith. “Instead, [KEYT union members] have faced delays, refusals to provide essential information, and conduct that undermined meaningful bargaining. After exhausting every reasonable avenue to reach an agreement, our members voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike,” she said in the press release. In a statement to the Independent, a spokesperson News-Press & Gazette said that employees had notified News-Press & Gazette of the strike and, in line with company policy, it would not comment on it.
