NPR and SAG-AFTRA Reach a Tentative Deal

A strike is avoided

A tentative agreement has been reached between NPR and SAG-AFTRA, the union that represents NPR employees, on renewing a contract that was set to expire over the weekend.

The agreement, reached at 12:08 a.m. on Sunday, comes after a period of negotiations that NPR union members brought attention to with a website and campaign, #WeMakeNPR, to highlight the value union members bring to the organization. The deal avoids a potential strike that could have been called, pending SAG-AFTRA approval, had negotiations stalled.
