The Herald is reporting employees of spanish language station WJAN want to join AFTRA – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Why? Probably something to do with the fact they don’t get “breaks and mealtimes, benefists including paid vacation and medical insurance”.
Ouch, no mealtime? I hope none of their employees get cranky like I do when hungry.

WJAN-TV 41 employees seek to unionize
none of the news department folks at wsvn get any meals either…we all work at our desks..no “breaks” either…
our insurance sucks ass…but we do have vacations…maybe we should join AFTRA too.
I’ve never heard of AFTRA; Any stations down here that are members of it? :p
