I am specifically concerned regarding Travel
Perma-lancer position going away due to too few hours. (when I have more hours than last year.)
Asked to hold and reserve 14 weeks for CFB and being dropped after 4 weeks, having turned down 3 golf gigs and a soccer game.
The fact that I am beholden to ESPN for my insurance to be payed and therefore HAVE to work for them 2 days per week to pay out of my paycheck.
Love the work, just want some answers.

How can we have a union where we have ZERO voice?!? Shouldn't those that do the work have a voice???

This is long over due. A union and local created by the company has never provided legal representation for non-staff workers, especially since this workplace has transitioned almost fully to nonstaff freelancers. NABET's two-tiered system goes against a union's fiduciary duty to represent ALL equally, and has lead to a take-it-or-leave-it proposition for freelancers against multi-national corporations despite supposed representation. Freelancers have had work terms forced on them if they wanted to work and a union more concerned with representing staff employees and simply siphoning dues off Freelance labor. Long over due indeed.

NABET was invented by NBC as a way to avoid being unionized by IBEW. NABET keeps giving back to the Employers and does not represent the best interests of the workers. It's about damn time.

About time! Let's sign and make them merge with a real union or disspear because they aren't helping us. IATSE and IBEW go forward but NABET sells us out just to stay alive! Hey Charlie Braico ,our president, I don't want t another give back so you can keep your fat cat job!
