Several dozen union members demonstrated Tuesday in front of KSTP-Channel 5, the flagship station of Hubbard Broadcasting, which also owns WNYT-NewsChannel 13 in Albany, N.Y.
KSTP is non-union (owner Stanley Hubbard busted a union at the station decades ago), but 90 broadcast employees and technicians at WNYT are represented by NABET-CWA Local 21. They have been without a contract since Sept. 30, 2007. Negotiations have broken down under numerous management demands for concessions.
On Tuesday, Minnesota CWA State Council President Tim Lovaasen and NABET-CWA Local 411 Political Director Chuck Preston delivered a letter to Hubbard Broadcasting demanding the company bargain in good faith and withdraw its concessionary proposals.

According to the union, the concession demands include:
• The right to lay off any worker at any time, without regard to seniority.

• Removal of limits on jurisdiction, meaning workers currently covered by the union contract could be fired and replaced by staff who would be non-union.

• The right to withdraw negotiated pay increases at any time.
Hubbard Broadcasting "wants to bust unions," Lovaasen said. "They want to take away the American dream from the American worker.
"It\'s un-American and they should be ashamed. Stanley Hubbard should be ashamed of what he\'s doing to the workers in Albany, N.Y."
WNYT is the No. 1 station in the market and brought in an estimated $11 million in profit in 2006 alone, Local 21 said. "We have worked hard to make NewsChannel 13 the No. 1 station . . . We are \'rewarded\' with less pay, benefits and no job security."
