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.

Not the Bee.
Oh no! I’m out of Ranch dressing.
Walking out is grounds for termination. On behalf of management, thanks for helping with the layoffs.
““For three years we’ve done award-winning work...”
Yeah that’s true but just about every American “journalist” out there has a drawer full of Goebbel’s awards.
If you keep firing us, we’re going on strike!
“You can’t fire me! I quit!”
If you lay me off I’ll go on strike?.........................
“ we have done AWARD WINNING work “ OMG, LMAO!!!!
This is so much manure. The people that still have jobs will be replaced, probably cheaper, and those that were laid off were going anyway. This is Disneyesque:
“Throw me into the briar patch!”

Bold move, let’s see how it plays out.
ChatGPT, write two minutes of copy for a nightly news story on a labor strike at NBC news headquarters in the style of NBC news.
What is this, the Mensa society?
In the Soviet Union and China, their state-run media and propaganda workers were not allowed to walk-out or strike.

Award winning? You mean those things leftists reward each other with for doing a lousy job but make up for by being good liars?
There's simply no such thing as a union journalist. Propagandist, certainly, but definitely not a journalist.
Go ahead. Make my day.
I support them walking out... and continuing to walk, never to return.
union journalists
Union, I have no doubt they are fine members.
Journalists, now that is a stretch.
