WPXI Producers intend to join union
February 9, 2022Pittsburgh City Paper earlier this week reported the intention of producers at WPXI-TV (11) to unionize with SAG-AFTRA. Station management was informed of their organizing drive in the middle of January with the presentation of a petition signed by 80% of the stations corps of producers – including news, associate, sports, digital content, and investigative/special project producers.
On-air hosts, anchors, reporters and meteorologists have been represented by the union since the 1960s. If the producers succeed, they will join the same bargaining unit as announcers.
