Union pickets NBC hit as reality workers cry foul on benefits.

Television workers are used to getting up early. But about 100 striking crew members of NBC’s The Biggest Loser and their IATSE supporters had an especially early call time Nov. 14. Picketing began at 3:45 a.m. in an attempt to deter replacement workers from entering the state park above Malibu where the series is shot.
