NBC Union Urges ‘No’ Vote

NEW YORK — The negotiating committee for the union of 2,800 striking NBC technicians and news staffers today recommended rejection of the company’s contract and strike settlement offers when the strikers vote on the proposals later this week.

John Krieger, an official of the National Assn. of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, said he had been in error Sunday when he said that the union’s six-member negotiating committee would make no recommendation to NABET members on NBC’s proposals. In fact, he said today, five of the committee members had voted to urge the rank-and-file to reject NBC’s offers, with the sixth committee member abstaining. He declined to identify that person.
