Broadcast Technicians Union launches LonelyDavidGregory.com
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (NABET-CWA) launched LonelyDavidGregory.com today to update Meet the Press viewers on whether there would be any guests this weekend.
NABET-CWA is announcing a call to action for all of those who stand with working families to -not appear on Meet The Press until NBC Universal has agreed to stop "embargoing" its employees. NBC management has been attacking good union jobs and putting working families in a difficult position.
NABET-CWA has been in negotiations that started more than a year ago and has been sequestered over several important issues, including the company's proposal to allow management to protect up to 25% of its most-favored employees from layoff, putting more senior employees at risk.
Casting a shadow over the talks is the company's implementation of so-called "new" job titles at its owned stations. These "content producer" and "platform manager" positions are virtually indistinguishable from jobs NABET-CWA represented workers have performed for decades. "The work itself doesn't change - people are largely doing the same jobs they've been doing through their careers as editors, news photographers and newswriters," said NABET-CWA Sector Vice President Jim Joyce, "but they are being forced to reapply as a 'content producer' with no union contract."
The launch of LonelyDavidGregory.com will combine online advertising with a text messaging platform to inform people of late breaking alerts regarding NABET's struggle against NBC Universal's Meet the Press.
NABET-CWA hopes this contract negotiation can be resolved peacefully and without a full strike on NBC Universal.
You can join the alerts by texting MTP to 228466, or by submitting your cell phone number on the website.
