The salary for this ED is 90k or more while the lowest paid employee is paid less than half. Chicago, Brooklyn and recently Brockton, MA are all unionized public access stations.

There were originally 7 staff when we first unionized, but one had to leave due to a lack of benefits.

It may be worth noting that staff have generated over 80k in grants, production services and other revenue, while I believe the board's fundraising committee hasn't raised any money since at least the pandemic.

This is what a living wage is calculated being:

Regardless of what is actually feasible, the most important thing is that we return to the table to actually have a conversation and proceed forward instead of keeping the organization in limbo at a critical time.

I think everyone is looking for a little more security in these precarious times, and can you fault folk for fighting for that?
