NEWS: The @stlprguild, a worker-led union of the non-supervisory staff at @stlpublicradio, have filed for a second election to add the station’s fundraising, business, events, and support staff to its ranks. /1
The positive impacts unions bring to the workplace are recognized across Missouri and the United States.
Notably: @WeMakeKCUR, the non-supervisory staff at @KCUR in Kansas City, filed for their union election just earlier this week. /4
The @STLPRGuild and @CWAlocal6400 look forward to making history again by winning, yet another, election with the Missouri Board of Mediation.

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 year ago, an overwhelming number of @stlpublicradio staffers made our voices heard: We want a more equitable and sustainable future in #StLouis, #Quincy, and #Rolla.
Stay tuned for more soon about our next steps in negotiating our first historic contract. #WeMakeSTLPR
Today, an overwhelming majority of @stlpublicradio's on and off-air staff are taking a historic step in becoming the first @NPR radio station in #Missouri to form a union, with @CWAUnion as our bargaining representative. #WeMakeSTLPR (🧵)
We apparently live rent free in some people’s minds.
Just a reminder: EVERYONE deserves a union because all workers should have a voice in their workplace and a seat at the table — with the microphone on.
