https://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2023/06/wusl-200x200.jpgThe on-air staff of iHeartMedia Hip Hop “Power 99 (https://power99.iheart.com)” WUSL Philadelphia will begin collective bargaining talks with the company on Wednesday, March 27 as the National Labor Relations Board has authorized the staff to be represented by SAG-AFTRA.
The authorization came after the NLRB counted two previously challenged ballots. Ten employees at the station began the unionization process in June 2023 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/254043/power-99-philadelphia-staffers-begin-unionization-efforts/) attempting to join the employees at sister CHR “Q102 (https://q102.iheart.com)” WIOQ and the Total Traffic & Weather Network as being represented by SAG-AFTRA in the iHeartMedia Philadelphia cluster.
SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said, ?We?re thrilled such a dynamic team of radio professionals will be joining the SAG-AFTRA Philadelphia family. Everyone can benefit from unionization and we look forward to working with Power 99 as they bargain for the wages and working conditions they deserve.”
SAG-AFTRA also represents employees at Public News/Talk 90.9 WHYY-FM, Beasley Media’s Country 92.5 WXTU and 93.3 WMMR, and Audacy’s Sports 94.1 WIP, News 1060 KYW/103.9 WPHI, Conservative Talk 1210 WPHT, and Audacy Traffic in Philadelphia.
