We’ve learned from NABET-CWA Local 11, the union that represents NBC’s producers, writers and technicians, that they have vowed to “pull the plug” on the network’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” telecast which includes the lighting of the famous Rockefeller Christmas tree and dozens of celebrities tomorrow, because management has failed to bargain fairly with them. In an attempt to “Save Christmas,” the union has setup a website – NBCStoleChristmas.com – that highlights the “Grinch” at NBC and they’re using online advertising and text messaging to promote their efforts.
