SAG-AFTRA has unionized the staff at KNBR 680/1050 in San Francisco, which has voted to recognize SAG-AFTRA as its bargaining unit.
The union will represent more than 35 media professionals who host, report, produce, edit and coordinate content for the two sports stations. Ballots were mailed out on Oct. 22 and counted Thursday at the National Labor Relations Board Region 19 office.
SAG-AFTRA said it plans to negotiate a first contract with the station’s owner, Cumulus Media.
“Just like the many teams that we cover, we bring commitment and passion to KNBR every day,” said broadcaster Ted Ramey. “We want to be treated as respected members of our team.”
SAG-AFTRA recently organized sports radio employees at WIP in Philadelphia. It also represents sports radio professionals in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Detroit.
