After a nearly five-year fight for a safer and more equitable workplace, we have agreed to terms for a first contract at @NBCNews, @NBCNewsNow, and @TODAYshow.
We’re excited to share details after a ratification vote by the membership.
We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.
Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: https://t.co/tN24poWh62
Too often AI is used in newsrooms without a human behind it, undermining our credibility and spreading misinformation. The NBC Guild supports the NewsGuild of New York (@nyguild) and The NewsGuild (@NewsGuild) when we say: No AI slop in the newsroom!

Our union is unwavering in our commitment to a fair and equitable newsroom at @NBCNews and @TODAYshow, and we will continue to enforce our contract to ensure our members’ rights are protected.
NBC News laid off over 30 of our members this month, using the excuse of the @VersantMedia spinoff to continue prioritizing extreme corporate profits over the workers that create the value behind @NBCNews and @TODAYshow.
We are extremely concerned that management appears to have selectively laid off workers in violation of the contract. After meeting with @NBCNews representatives last week, we were left with more questions than answers.
After more than half a decade, we have our contract ratified. Thank you to everyone involved especially @tatejamesdotcom@DohaMadani@CarlinMcCarthy@AndrewJStern and the OG @RebeccaDavis who first told me about the idea of a union in 2018.
In the words of Elle Woods, WE DID IT.
After an overwhelming 94% ratification vote, we have secured the first union contract for the digital newsrooms of @NBCNews, @NBCNewsNOW, and @TODAYshow.
We are proud of the work that we do, and we're excited to continue that work with the protections of a strong first contract.
Years of work and thousands of hours in those years were spent organizing and planning and bargaining for this contract, the first contract for @NBC’s digital workers union covering News and TODAY and News Now. This contract is now so very very close to reality. Solidarity.
Big win! @nbcnewsguild just won a first tentative agreement!
- Pay increases of as much as 17%
- First-ever salary minimums
- Strong job security and layoff protections
- End to forced arbitration over discrimination/harassment
- Extended workday
- more!

We walked out shortly after I got hired and I’m so glad that we’ve reached a deal as my time at NBC comes to an end. Endlessly grateful for @nbcnewsguild for fighting for a better workplace!
WE DID IT!
I am so grateful for the @nbcnewsguild bargaining team, who worked tirelessly to make this happen. Thank you for being the driving force without whom this wouldn’t have been possible.
It’s a dream come true for our NBC News Digital team, and our future is bright! 😎
