NABET-CWA Members Protest at NBC Universal Gala

NABET-CWA members line Manahattan streets to send a message to NBC Universal.

NABET-CWA members were on hand for NBC Universal's star-studded Fall Preview Gala in New York City, but their message was one that company executives weren't too happy to hear.

Members of NABET-CWA greeted network stars, guests and advertisers outside the Town Hall Theater with leaflets and protest signs, calling on the public to support workers in their fight for a fair settlement.

Some 2,500 NBCU employees at the NBC Television Network and its owned TV stations in New York, Washington, D.C.; Chicago, and Burbank have been working without a contract for nearly two months.

"NBC Universal still doesn't seem ready to bargain a fair contract", said NABET-CWA President John S. Clark. 

NABET-CWA locals have filed unfair labor charges and unit clarification petitions with the National Labor Relations Board and put NBC Universal on notice that workers will continue to mobilize across the country to fight for a fair and equitable contract.
