PHILADELPHIA — With a 97.91% vote, SAG-AFTRA members on June 5 approved a strike authorization. With current contracts expiring on June 30, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has just one week to reach “a fair deal” with the union.
As that drama plays out, a potentially thorny labor matter is playing out at a heritage R&B and hip-hop FM serving the City of Brotherly Love. Will the station’s owner, iHeartMedia, love the unionization plan at “Power 99”?
