Employees at Hartford FOX affiliate WTIC will soon vote on whether they want union representation. According to the Journal-Inquirer, on-air reporters, anchors and photographers will soon decide whether they want the broadcast employees union to represent them.
Carrie Biggs-Adams, staff representative for the National Association of Broadcast Employees & Technicians-Communications Workers of America, told the Journal-Inquirer that the vote will involve 53 employees at the station and will take place February 18.
The union already represents employees at CBS affiliate WFSB in Hartford and ABC affiliate WTNH in New Haven.
