Universal Studios workers call on NBCUniversal to keep ICE OUT!

Hundreds of workers, community members, and allies gathered outside Universal Studios Hollywood to call for protections against immigration enforcement activity on park property and to demand that NBCUniversal take a public stand to ensure safety and dignity for workers and visitors.

Workers from UNITE HERE Local 11 and IATSE Local B-192 are currently in contract negotiations with NBCUniversal. As part of those negotiations, UNITE HERE Local 11 and IATSE Local 192 have proposed contract language that would ensure that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not voluntarily allowed onto the Universal hill and backlot, and that NBCUniversal publicly condemns the use of violence, militarized tactics, or intimidation by ICE or other federal agencies against individuals, workers, or families.

NBCUniversal has not agreed to these proposed protections.
