But Who Will Make Up The News?
by John Little on 19/11/2007CBS News staffers are heading towards a strike. They aren’t there yet but one could come at any time:
CBS news writers, graphic artists and other staffers who work for the network’s television and radio news operations voted by a wide margin to authorize a strike against their employer, the Writers Guild of America announced Monday.
Of the 300 employees who cast ballots in last week’s special election, 81% backed a labor stoppage to protest working for more than 2 1/2 years without a contract.
I despise labor unions but a network news strike could only bring good. My fingers are crossed.
