Jones 2/14/19 Clint Jung 3/28/21 DICK KAY, a reporter and former president of the union's Chicago Local, passed away May 13 at the age of 84. Kay was shop steward at WMAQ, the NBC owned- and-operated station in Chicago, for more than 35 years after he was hired in 1968. Kay sat at every local negotiation table during his career at WMAQ. He served on the Local Board from 1992–2011. Kay was active in his union and oversaw the establishment, growth and development of the Local Broadcast Steering Committee. Kay was first elected to the AFTRA National Board in 1992 and served continuously until stepping down in 2007. In addition to his service on many national committees, he was a member of the National Broadcast Steering Committee, and he participated in numerous national negotiations. In 1996, he was elected to the first of four terms as local president, and he was the first broadcaster elected to lead the Chicago Local in more than 40 years. He was AFTRA's second national vice president from 1999–2001 and national vice president from 2001–11. Kay was a powerful voice advocating for bringing Telemundo workers into the union, despite the fact that the station's owner, NBC, was his employer. With his and other broadcasters' continuous encouragement, the Telemundo broadcasters endured a yearlong organizing drive and, on April 2, 2003, voted in favor of AFTRA representation.
