MSNBC Layoffs Target 99 Union Staffers, WGA East Claims
MSNBC is initiating 'mass layoffs' of 99 employees who are members of the WGA East, the union said.
Amid a broad reshuffle of its programming lineup, MSNBC is initiating “mass layoffs” of 99 employees who are members of the WGA East, the union said Tuesday. On MSNBC Monday night, longtime anchor Rachel Maddow criticized the changes and said some of the network’s “most experienced, most talented” producers are facing layoffs. Word of layoffs “comes against the backdrop of the President of the United States making direct threats against MSNBC, among other news outlets, and at a time when it has never been more crucial to have a fully staffed newsroom to cover a democracy under attack,” WGA East said.
