Whaaaat? I thought liberals were ALL about being in unions? WHYY is a super-left, super-liberal PBS/NPR affiliate in Philadelphia.

WHYY says it will not recognize the union. Now what?
A group of workers at the public media station WHYY last week delivered a petition to management declaring their intent to unionize with SAG-AFTRA.
The workers, who said they were unionizing to turn the station into a place where they could build their careers “without sacrificing [their] well-being,” had support from more than 80% of the nearly 100-person proposed bargaining unit — well over the simple majority needed to win a formal union election — and asked management to voluntarily recognize the union, rather than requiring it to go through a National Labor Relations Board election.
WHYY has since said it will not voluntarily recognize the union...
The handful actually running the bus are not giving up their seats to a mob. Actually, they are not turning the bus over to a mob who wants to "turn the station into a place where they could build their careers".
The connected few can run the station with a handful of employees as well as call in retired employees. Rebroadcast favorite shows for years and still have seemingly fresh content.
