Some KEYT employees, including videographers, editors, multimedia journalists, directors, and producers, voted to unionize last month with a 17-13 majority. On December 3, the National Labor Relations Board certified the vote, making Local 600, the union, the employees’ representative for collective bargaining. Local 600 represents 13 other broadcast news stations nationwide. KEYT’s owner is News-Press & Gazette, a family media company headquartered in Missouri.
