The Production and Assignment Desk groups at Nexstar’s KDVR/KWGN (Denver) elected to unionize in a vote of 17-3.

This comes on the heels of another significant (35-9) win just one week prior, when KDVR/KWGN's Hub/Master Control group also secured their group's union rights through NABET/CWA.

“The journey towards unionization began in January, with a clear intent voiced by the Production Department and Assignment Desk Editors. The groups' unwavering commitments to fair labor practices, a collective voice in the workplace and both equitable pay and treatment have now been realized,” the union said in a press release.

“This victory not only strengthens the rights and protections of workers within their Denver shop, but also sets a precedent for the broader media industry,” the union added.
