For more than a year now, NBC-owned Peacock Productions has refused to recognize workers’ desire to form a union, even going so far as to impound the ballots from a union election.1

These producers and associate producers are calling on MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Chris Hayes, Al Sharpton and Lawrence O’Donnell to support their right to organize for a voice at work.

Send an email to these MSNBC hosts to tell them to meet with Peacock workers and stand in solidarity with them in the fight to organize their workplace.

1. I'd like it made clear that these millionaire 'hosts' have not stood up to support the Union

and that this piece is from December, and they still have not stood up.

3. Working for Big Media forces one to shelve a few ethics I guess

Yes, if this were happening eksewhere, Big Ed would be pounding the table.

Just as they all have (at least as far as I've seen) avoided their usual scrutiny of Net Neutrality and Concast merger.

Maybe its better to gave a platform for many issues, instead of none. But depressing.
