Why: to help Channel 7 Union Workers in their fight against the company over outrageous collective bargaining demands.
The NABET - CWA Local 25 Members have been working without a contract since January 31st.
What Do The Union Members Want?They want WKBW to bargain in good-faith to make the station better.

Our own Dawn Mele AVP MFG and Patricia Sullivan AVP DMH received the Mays Citizenship award in recognition for their efforts in the "Walk to Albany" last January 2007.
It is hard to believe it has been 1 year since these two outstanding citizens walked 320 miles to Albany to bring attention to the irrational decisions of the Berger Commission. And the fight for the communities we serve continues on!
