Letter to NBC Members, Negotiations Status (pdf)(08/17/10)

Answer to Chini Letter from the Union (pdf)(08/17/10)


Take Action on this Issue:

There's no way around it: The Comcast-NBC merger is bad for workers and consumers.

Combining a cable company with a major broadcast network is a recipe for disaster, leading to job cuts, reduced competition, and restricted access to online content for consumers.

On top of all that, Comcast has a long record of violating workers' rights. After its last big merger, with AT&T Broadband in 2002, Comcast immediately set about crushing AT&T's unions. If this merger is allowed to happen, even more workers will be subjected to this union-busting behavior.

But right now you have a chance to change it. The Federal Communications Commission is accepting public comment on the merger, and we have a simple tool to let you speak out. Take a few minutes to stand up for workers and consumers now:

Comcast already pays its workers about a third less in wages and benefits than unionized telecom companies.

If this merger goes through, it would take on an additional $8 billion in debt. That means the new company would face the choice of cutting jobs or raising prices. Either way, workers and consumers lose.

A combined Comcast-NBCU could also limit consumers' access to NBC's online content, or it could charge consumers higher prices to access that content unless they are cable subscribers. The Internet is all about choice, but that could change if Comcast and NBC are allowed to join together.

With your help, we can make sure that doesn't happen. Urge the FCC to stand with workers and consumers. Submit your comments now:
