Employees of NBC’s digital news division announced Friday that they have officially unionized, reports The Hill.
The employees announced they will form a union through the NewsGuild of New York after winning an election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) by a 90-40 vote.
The employees first announced their intention to unionize in October over concerns about how NBC News had handled issues of sexual misconduct and diversity.
The move came after the company was thrust into the spotlight over a report that at least seven women who had alleged sexual harassment or discrimination at work had signed nondisclosure agreements with NBC News. The company later announced that all former employees would be released from that arrangement.
