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.”

I was on a radio show with Cleavon Little, around 1967, on WNYC, 830 (?) AM. I saw the movie.
