Christmas Canceled At 30 Rock?
NBC producers, writers and technicians have said they will "pull the plug" on the network's annual broadcast of the lighting of the Christmas tree celebration in Rockefeller Center Wednesday night all because of a contract dispute.
The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians Local 11 says they're angry at the big wigs from the peacock network for stalling negotiations.
They union argues:
"We can’t let the Grinch at NBC steal another Christmas from thousands of honest working people. This charade must stop. Christmas is supposed to be a time of goodwill, but the network’s management is trying to hide behind their fancy lights while leaving their employees in the dark.”
We understand that everyone wants their money, but technically wouldn't the NABET be the ones stealing Christmas since they would keep the rest of the world from viewing the annual event?
Put your differences aside for one night and let others enjoy the holiday season!

Christmas In Washington
nooo wtf??? i loved that shit lol
nooo wtf??? i loved seeing that shit lol
Listen to "If I ain't got you" by A.K. for me.
Wow. What will they show instead?
Perez, how do you expect people to ally themselves with your progressive causes, if you won't even lend your support to the union movement. Hypocrite.
The show must go on…and the show is on my TV right now.
=
Don't you think this alleged stall has something to do with the negotiations around the change in ownership?
when the fuck is my comment gonna appear?
ahh i was first! thats a first! lol
Ding Dong You Were Wrong.
That's weird bc it's actually showing right now on tv where i live in Missouri.
I am in Maryland and I am watching it right now….. old news Perez? You a very slow on things….your website is a joke.
umm it's on TV right now! I'm sure NBC loves that your taking away there ratings by telling people its not going to be on.
Well somebody is celebrating on Rockefeller Plaza and NBC as I type.
Looks like someone bought the hype and printed what either NBC wanted for ratings or the Union wanted to garner support, as by reading this we are now aware of their negotiations.
Union Power ! As I listen/watch to NBC's Christmas Show.
well it looks like they did put on the show but I have to wonder if those right wingers who stir up the fake war on Christmas would have spazzed if the event didn't go off as planned
Re: soangryicouldspit – soangryicouldspit, us right-wingers could give a fuck less if this event would of shown on NBC. We're not liberals…our culture exists quite well without televisions and Christmas specials.
Kick the union-luvers to the fucking sewer already !!!!
who cares about MSNBC
Narcissism is prevalent everywhere…
ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME
Unions are all about ME.
WAKE UP ASSHOLES…we are ALL hurting. we are all GRATEFUL for our jobs.
Let our CHILDREN at least have this moment.
Fuck Unions
They do nothing but destroy everything they touch
I remember first hand Eastern Airlines, auto workers, steel workers,
If they did that, it would be such a disappointment. It's rude and self centered to take away something that people get so much joy from. It's a holiday tradition! Come on guys, don't be douchebags!
You have to remember everyone that when ever a union or Democrat gets behind or involved in anything it goes to shit.
All they do is think of themselves and everyone else is second, they could care less that is why they have their playbook on talking points and their poisened fingers to point at everyone besides themselves.
Light the tree for eveyone and forget about them
