Back a few weeks ago, FTVLive told you that the union was photobombing KTTV's live shots as negotiations between the two sides have not been going well.

Now, one union members says that she was canned for holding up a sign behind a KTTV live shot. 

Cheryl Bacon, a KTTV staffer of 39 years was holding up a couple of signs in support of the union and says that a week later she was fired from her job. 

The union says that the veteran video editor, microvan operator and satellite operations staffer is also the secretary of Local 53 of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians-Communications Workers of America says protesting at live shots is protected by the National Labor Relations Act.

The union plans a rally outside the West Los Angeles studios of KTTV on Thursday.

It's getting ugly now.
