May 16th and May 17th NABET NBC and ABC Upfront Rallys


THE TIME IS NOW....OUR FUTURE IS NOW... WE ARE JOINING FORCES SO PLEASE SAVE THE DATE AND JOIN US...... PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS.. IF YOU ARE WORKING THAT DAY, COME ON YOUR LUNCH HOUR...




The members of NABET Locals 11 and 16 have a great opportunity to share resources and make headway in both Locals' contract negotiations.

The NBC and ABC UpFronts, where the networks announce their fall primetime schedules, are coming up next week.

NBC is on Monday, May 16th beginning 9 am at The Hilton Hotel, 54th and 6th Avenue.

ABC is on Tuesday, May 17th beginning 1 pm at Lincoln Center.

All members from both Locals are asked to join in protest at one or both events to bring the message to both companies that we want a fair contract and we want it now!

For NBC, it's a new company and a new management that needs to hear the NABET-CWA Local 11 members. Loud and clear. Two years without a contract, three years without a wage increase is too long. We want a fair contract NOW!


The Rally at the NBC UpFronts is on Monday, May 16th beginning 9 am at The Hilton Hotel, 54th and 6th Avenue.


The UpFront rallies have always been NABET 16's  greatest success in expressing the sentiment of our workers to the ABC.

The members of all NABET-CWA-represented ABC bargaining units have overwhelmingly approved the Network Negotiating Committee’s request for strike authorization. The vote, which was conducted separately by secret ballot in New York, Washington, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, was counted on Thursday, April 28, 2011. This vote result exhibits the membership’s extreme dissatisfaction with the Company’s current proposals.

Your NABET-CWA Local 16 Network Negotiating Committee appreciates your continued faith and support as we return to the bargaining table next week with your unwavering determination to achieve a fair and equitable contract at ABC.

The Rally at the ABC UpFronts is on Tuesday, May 17th beginning 1 pm at Lincoln Center.


Please mark your calendars and plan to be there. Sometimes it takes just a little action to make a big change. The Union is you!

The fans of ABC's All My Children and One Life To Live are planning a rally at the ABC UpFronts on Tuesday, May 17th at Lincoln Center. They are rallying to SAVE OUR SOAPS! These shows are part of the American fabric and cancellation would mean losing hundreds of union jobs.

FANS LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE! Welcome to The Soap Revolution! WE HAVE A VOICE! http://www.TheSoapRevolution.com

ABC has cancelled all their shows from daytime to primetime, how is this union going to protect those who will be laid off especially with two iconic Soap Operas who gave more than 40 years of viewing. The ratings were unfair and someone needs to look into that!

You should know soap fans will be out there with you. We share your anger. Hundreds of workers at ABC are getting fired due to the canceling of their soaps.
