NBC News Announces Layoffs, Sparking Union Outrage
Creator: Marcin Wichary
NBC News confirmed that it is laying off a number of its employees, a decision that has sparked considerable backlash from union representatives.
The layoffs, described as impacting a double-digit number of employees within its roughly 3,500-strong workforce, are expected to affect between 50 to 100 individuals. This news comes amidst a broader trend of workforce reductions in major media outlets, including CNN, NPR, and The Washington Post.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that those affected will receive 60 days’ notice, along with severance packages and outplacement services.
SCOOP @PuckNews: NBC News will implement layoffs across the network starting today, per sources familiar…. Total number of employees affected will be fewer than 100 (out of staff of thousands).
