Members of the ”SNL” editing team are paid rates far below industry standards, while colleagues working other jobs on the show receive pay appropriate to their crafts. Assistant editors at “SNL,” for instance, make hourly wages that represent only a fraction of the industry-standard minimum rate for assistant editors on union shows. The company’s wage proposals don’t meaningfully address that gap.
Retroactive pay is also something that management has refused, with no guarantees instituted for workers receiving pay for delayed contract negotiations. Furthermore, NBCUniversal has argued for a two-tiered health insurance system that could result in reduced benefits for future editors. The show’s post-production unit has received significant support from other craftspeople, many of whom have been seen wearing “Contract Now” shirts to work. In addition to support from behind-the-scenes crew, several cast members donned the “Contract Now” shirts on Feb. 4 during the on-camera goodbyes at the end of the show.
