Staffers at NBC News and MSNBC are planning a walk-out in protest of recent workforce cuts, their union says.

In a statement on Wednesday, the NBC Guild said more than 200 workers plan to walk off the job on Thursday, saying the the broadcast giant has “repeatedly broken the law, disrespected the rights of its employees, and illegally terminated hard-working union journalists.”

“For three years we’ve done award-winning work without a contract that would secure fair pay, adequate raises, health & safety standards, dependable benefits, and a viable future,” the union said. “Management wants us to walk back to at-will status, but we’re only moving forward.”

The labor organization plans to hold a protest on Thursday morning outside 30 Rock, the network’s New York headquarters.

Walking out is grounds for termination. On behalf of management, thanks for helping with the layoffs.

That was my first thought. My second one was "What a bunch of dumba$$es".

They’ve won LOTS of awards.

For telling the biggest whoppers

Good. I’m enjoying this. I hope all the leftists in the mainstream media lose their jobs and have to beg on street corners.

Walk out a-holes. Then you’ll lose any chance of “after being fired bennies”. Stupid asses. And Starbucks only has but so many openings. Woke = broke. You deserve it.

Fired for cause means no unemployment check. Just sayin’. I believe/fear that in New York, strikers can collect unemployment.

I’m confused, is this supposed to be a threat, or gift to management?
Those who walk out should be locked out and fired.
I may be a bit biased as I despise union/organized crime thuggery so much.

Be nice if there was someone using them for sniper targets as they leave the bastion of Communist propaganda.

My thought as well. So, you guys want to get to the head of the layoff line? Be my guest.

I guess carrying the water for the woke commie overlords by telling flat out lies for them for the past many years didn’t actually buy you loyalty.

That’s the way communists normally work in case you didnt know.

The term is “useful idiots”. You were useful to them. Until you weren’t.
