CWA Secretary-Treasurer Annie Hill and CWA AT&T Mobility members rally for fair contracts for NABET-CWA members in Portland.

CWA AT&T Mobility activists took a break from their strategy sessions and marched to television station KOIN TV in Portland, Ore., to rally with NABET-CWA members and protest management demands to cuts jobs and compensation.

The 50 news photographers, technicians, graphic artists, web producers, assignment editors at the station, and until recently master control operators, are members of NABET-CWA Local 59051.

Joining CWAers were Portland Jobs with Justice activists and other union members. CWA Secretary-Treasurer Annie Hill rallied the crowd, among other speakers.

A positive bargaining relationship fell apart when Rhode Island-based LIN Media purchased the station in 2012. Bargaining for a new agreement is underway, however management has tried to discredit and undercut the union, and has refused to provide information for bargaining.

The agreement, which covers 4,500 workers in California, increases wages 8.77 percent over four years, limits outsourcing of FiOS work and returns contracted out jobs to the CWA bargaining unit.
