To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies.

  • Read It Here
    Steve Burke Chief Executive Officer NBC Universal, Inc. 30 Rockefeller Center New York, NY 10112 Dear Steve, It has come to our attention that freelance staff who write and produce nonfiction programming for NBC’s Peacock Productions have voted in a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election to determine whether or not they wish to be represented by the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE). As members of that organization, and as employees of NBC, we have a particular interest in the outcome of this election. However, we don’t yet know the results because the ballots have been impounded. Our understanding is that these ballots have been impounded because NBC has chosen to pursue a legal strategy to nullify the votes of over half of the eligible voters in this election on the grounds that they are supervisors and not entitled to any protections under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA); a strategy that has already failed at the regional level of the NLRB. We disagree with the Company’s position that these freelancers are supervisory and not entitled to the right to collectively bargain. Their work has so much in common with our own. Their careers and livelihoods depend on many of the same things that ours do – health insurance, fair pay, pensions, residuals – things that the WGA has historically collectively bargained with you for. To seek to deny theseDEADLINE.com freelancers the same rights and privileges that we enjoy is unfair, especially if the majority of them have indicated in an NLRB election that it is their desire to have them.

Acknowledgements First, I would like to acknowledge the support of my partner Daniel. His willingness to move from California to Texas for my academic career, in addition to his steadfast patience and support, have been invaluable to me in the past two years. Of course, the guidance of my brilliant instructors and advisors here at the University of Texas at Austin has been tremendously compelling, if not sometimes terrifying. My thesis advisor Xavier Livermon and my second reader Kareem Khubchandani have both offered thoughtful, supportive, and surprisingly enthusiastic feedback on my work and to both of them I am forever grateful. Finally, my colleague and treasured friend Hayley Morgenstern has been a beacon of hope and support. Their work and mine have dovetailed in ways that were only viscerally anticipated. Our projects are now more obviously sisters projects and I am thrilled to continue our friendship and intellectual collaborations.
