Welcome to the NBC/WRC Contract Group Area

---

Jay & Conan Welcome to the club! Mr. Leno and MR. OBrien are now battling the terrible management of the once proud #1 network. The technical employees of NBC/Universal have been dealing with this incompetently managed corporation for a long time. We are the people who put the TV shows you enjoy on the air. We have been trying to renew our labor contract for over a year. Our people face the same inept practices that the stars now must deal with! We are all facing job cuts. Talented older employees livelihoods are being threatened by NBC demands to change long standing seniority rules. Other technical employees have been removed from their jobs, given no new assignments, and their work has been given to non -union workers. This wastes valuable talent and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Perhaps the manager should be given no assignment! Send a message to NBC. Support a fair deal for our fellow employees. TURN OFF NBC4/WRC !!!

 NABET-CWA/NBCU Negotiations Bulletin #17  (.doc 2/5/10)

COULD THIS BE THE WEEKEND SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GOES DARK?

TURN OFF NBC4 !!!

EMPLOYEES OF NBC-UNIVERSAL NEED YOUR HELP TO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD!

Please turn off NBC4 until NBC/GE reaches a fair and equitable contract with our fellow workers. For decades, we the NABET-CWA Employees of NBC4 have been responsible for ensuring the technical excellence of NBC programs. Millions of households nationwide have tuned in to watch these shows. We are hard working individuals who have sacrificed an enormous amount of time away from our families over the course of our careers. We work long, hard hours, 24/7, weekends and holidays to bring entertaining and informative programs to NBC viewers.  Our work is often performed in adverse conditions including severe weather and war zones.

NBC/Universal is owned by General Electric. They have targeted the jobs and benefits of our union members to drastically cut costs and keep their bottom line plump. Even in these difficult economic times NBCU had Second Quarter earnings of $3.6 BILLION in revenue and $598 MILLION in operating profit. GENERAL ELECTRIC brought in $39.1 BILLION in revenue and $2.9 BILLION IN PROFITS during the second quarter.

NBC is now proposing a contract aimed at forcing out senior employees nearing retirement to be replaced by lower paid, less experienced workers. The quality of your local news is already suffering and your need for  information will suffer also! NBC4 does not  appreciate  the talent, experience, dedication and professionalism that many of these long time employees have contributed to the decades of success of NBC/Universal.

We are fighting for fairness and for our families livelihood.

With your help, a simple click of your tv-remote, you can help get the serious attention of this giant corporation to focus on the concerns  of  hard working men  and women.  Turn off NBC4! Thank You!

Maybe you didn't notice the other bus ads last month, but THIS one is coming back!
