SAG-AFTRA and New York Public Radio Announce Global Settlement

NEW YORK (Feb. 25, 2022) — SAG-AFTRA and New York Public Radio are pleased to have reached a global settlement that withdraws the complaints issued to the National Labor Relations Board, and provides a foundation for strengthening our relationship moving forward. 

Among the agreements, the settlement includes an extension of just cause protections to reporters and on-air hosts; a one-time 3% wage increase in July 2022 for all bargaining unit employees making under $100,000 per year; enhancements to NYPR’s parental leave policy; and a resolution of claims brought by the union regarding personnel issues pertaining to individual staff members.

Both parties look forward to working together to continue to resolve workplace matters cooperatively, and to serving our audiences across the region and around the world with trusted news, classical music and cultural programming, and the New York conversation.
