My hard-working colleagues are back at it today as mediation w/ KUOW management & University of Washington drags on. We’re fighting because everyone at KUOW Public Radio deserves a living wage. #WeMakeKUOW

Unbelievable. In bargaining/mediation today, our KUOW Public Radio managers offered exactly ZERO dollars above their previous salary offer. #WeMakeKUOW #SAGAFTRA

How I'm feeling as we approach a year of negotiations with KUOW Public Radio management and University of Washington for a new SAG-AFTRA contract for our unionized newsroom. We're still fighting for living wages, but man are we tired and frustrated! #WeMakeKUOW
