Employees of Cumulus Media's KNBR 680 AM joined the SAG-AFTRA union in November and held a protest recently at AT&T Park over low pay, according to ajc.com.
The union also released a two-minute video last week. One employee noted that San Francisco is an incredibly expensive place to live so that $12.25 an hour isn’t as high as it seems.
“We are 11 percent more expensive than New York,” said Tony Rhein, creative director.
“We’re very dedicated to working here. However, it’s nearly impossible when wages have been completely stagnant for ten years,” said Tim Webb, a producer.
“The only way I keep my dream alive now is working two other jobs,” said James Kincaid, producer. “And I know I’m not the only one. It’s a reality for most of us here at KNBR.”
Patrick Connor, producer/anchor: “I just want to be paid what’s fair.”
SAG-AFTRA is seeking a contract negotiation with Cumulus but has fallen on deaf ears.
