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.

Well at least that should save NBC some money.
Maybe they can schedule an unpaid walkout every week to cut costs.
The very thing I was going to post. Aaaarrrgghh!
So....THERE!
Tens of viewers will be at a loss for entertainment
Being media shills for their glorious DemoRat Masters doesn’t payout so well ay? Enjoy inflationary Xidenomics they voted for and promoted. Take comfort in the bad Orange Man was denied his victory. Mission accomplished.
This is serial. I’m trying to imagine life without MSNBC and I think I hurt my face grinning.
They don’t know how this works do they? Not any of them. Not a bit. Poor 25-40 year-old’s have never suffered through a recession. Their financial knowledge is that you tap the bank card and buy what you want. Their only experience with economic numbers are the fake ones we have been getting over the more recent years and they even know little about them. Experience is a great teacher! Harsh, but lessons are learned.
What are the maintenance guys who install lock switches under desks to prevent young women from leaving going to do?
They self-identify as the next layoffs. Cool!
Terminated for cause in many states doesn't allow those terminated to collect unemployment. Being laid off does. Rather poetic in my book.
“hard-working union journalists”
They have been working day and night spreading Deep State lies—this is cruel!
So the union’s been working three years without a contract? (Yeah, that’s all I got out of the article.)
The Screwtape Award!
Where they are, I was 20 years ago.
Same with all the tech people.
It is not a happy day when you realize the plan you had for life was a lie.
A two-fer!
Their product stinks, that’s why they have to cut these wokesters that offer no value.
NBC journalist and MSNBC journalist are oxymorons.
Funny!
“Walking out is grounds for termination. On behalf of management, thanks for helping with the layoffs.”
Not sure what New York law is. I am assuming every employee who decided to walk out will have to enter it as either a sick day or vacation day. Failure to do that can result in disciplinary action.
