Over 200 @NBCNews, @MSNBC, and @TODAYshow journalists are walking off the job tomorrow.
NBC has repeatedly broken the law, disrespected the rights of its employees, and illegally terminated hard-working union journalists. Enough is enough.
We sent a letter to @cesarconde_, @CatherineKimNY, @janelleNBC and @libbyleist this morning demanding they reinstate our colleagues and bargain towards a fair contract.
We unionized for stability in a precarious industry, and we're not settling for scraps.
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 at @NBCNews.
Management wants us to walk back to at-will status, but we’re only moving forward.
We’ve been ready to work with @NBCNews to make our newsroom the best it can be — and we want to get back to doing the work we love — but not if the company continues breaking the law and disrespecting our decision to unionize.
Please show your solidarity with @nbcnewsguild journalists by sending a letter to @cesarconde_, @CatherineKimNY, @janelleNBC and @libbyleist demanding they follow the law, meet our demands, and bargain in good faith.

And everyone is welcome to join us for a solidarity rally Thursday outside 30 Rock (N side of 49th St. b/w 5th and 6th Ave) at 11 AM ET where we’ll be hearing about the union fight from workers across NBC.
Invite a friend, bring your union colleague and make some noise with us!
