BALTIMORE, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sinclair today issued the following statement regarding union representation for news photojournalists at KOMO\/KUNS in Seattle:<\/p>\n

KOMO\/KUNS received an August 18, 2026 notice from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada Local 600, AFL-CIO has voluntarily disclaimed interest in continuing to represent news photojournalists at the stations.<\/p>\n

The union\u2019s decision follows an employee-initiated decertification petition and vote concerning continued IATSE representation. As a result of IATSE Local 600\u2019s decision, the union will no longer serve as the bargaining representative for this group of employees.<\/p>\n

Sinclair strives to be the employer of choice in every market we serve, and remains committed to maintaining a direct and productive relationship with our employees. Our employees are the heart of our company, and we value their contributions and dedication to serving the Seattle community.<\/p>\n
