Sinclair announced that International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers ("IBEW") Local Union Number 51 is no longer representing Sinclair employees that provide services to WICS in Springfield, IL.

The union had represented 6 employees providing services to the station until its contract expired on Nov. 15, 2017.

"At Sinclair, employees are our most valuable asset.  We are pleased that as an employer of choice in Springfield we will have the opportunity to deal with our employees directly rather than through a third party," commented Rick Lipps, General Manager of WICS.  "We remain strongly committed to providing employees with robust benefits, competitive compensation and many opportunities for growth."

I'm making no comment, but God knows I want to.
