NBC News conducted a round of layoffs on Thursday, leading to swift backlash from union staffers who say the action is illegal.
NBC Digital NewsGuild and The NewsGuild of New York strongly condemned management’s announcement Thursday, calling the move a clear disregard for workers’ rights, in a press release shared with Fox News Digital. Business Insider reported that NBC laid off about 40 employees, while creating about 12 new jobs that cut workers could apply for as the division makes a shift to growth areas.
The union said laying off Guild-represented workers amidst negotiations for a first contract is illegal.

The CNN and other stories all said “sparing the on air talent the layoffs will be of behind the scenes staff” in one way or another. Too bad.
“The union said laying off Guild-represented workers amidst negotiations for a first contract is illegal.”
i guess ya’ll can take it up with President Trump’s new labor board ...
“sparing the on air talent the layoffs will be of behind the scenes staff”
The big names have better contracts.
Yes. Those unions mean so much to the downtrodden workers in this capitalist system of exploitation (/S)
Union Maid
Record by The Almanac Singers (Pete Seegar a member).
… There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks
And the deputy sheriffs that made the raid
She went to the union hall when a meeting, it was called
And when the company boys come around
She always stood her ground
… Oh, you can’t scare me, I’m sticking to the union
I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union
Oh, you can’t scare me, I’m sticking to the union
I’m sticking to the union till the day I die
… This union maid was wise to the tricks of the company spies
She’d never be fooled by a company stool
She’d always organize the guys
She’d always get her way when she asked for better pay
She’d show her card to the company guard
And this is what she’d say
… Oh, you can’t scare me, I’m sticking to the union
I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union
Oh, you can’t scare me, I’m sticking to the union
I’m sticking to the union till the day I die.
… Now, you gals who want to be free,
You gotta take a little tip from me
Get you a man who’s a union man and fight together for liberty
‘Cause married life ain’t hard if you got a union card
And a union man has a happy life if he’s got a union wife.
“On-Air Talent” is going to be replaced by AI.
NBC should tell them that they can come to work if they want to. They just won’t get paid.
“… makes a shift to growth areas…”
I’m curious as to what those might be.
Nothing But Crapola
A good picket line wouldn’t hurt anyone—roll the old chariots along.
Does anyone believe NBC?
A MSM network and their union getting slapped at the same time, the new freer market is working.
Rough time to be in the narrative making biz.
