Strike Planned at CBS News
Edited on Wed Oct-24-07 10:43 PM by loser_user
Another day, another strike authorization.

With a contract deadline looming in the WGA's film and TV talks with studios and networks, the guild Monday scheduled a separate strike-authorization vote by WGA newswriters. The move -- involving 500 members whose CBS contract expired more than 2 1/2 years ago -- follows Friday's announcement that WGA members had authorized a possible strike by screenwriters and primetime broadcast scribes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Negotiations between CBS and its newswriters have just hit the skids. Furthermore, the contract has already expired, and a strike-authorization vote has been scheduled. The vote is set for Nov. 15'th. Even better, the WGA is fighting a similar battle with ABC News, although it hasn't degenerated to the level it has with CBS News--yet.
