Michael Sainato at The Guardian reports Workers at CBS News walked out for 24 hours after a new contract agreement was not reached following the expiration of the contract last week. About 60 Workers at the Streaming Service CBS News 24/7 are represented by the Writers Guild of America East. The Union is holding rallies and walkouts at the CBS News Broadcast Center in Manhattan and at KPIX-TV CBS News Bay Area in San Francisco. The Union contract expired earlier this month and the Union delivered a Strike pledge to management shortly thereafter after 95% of the Unit signed the pledge and 2,900 Union Members and supporters signed letters to management to reach a contract with the Union. “CBS News (24/7) Journalists are walking off the job on both coasts today because management refuses to agree to a new contract with essential work protections and fair wages,” the Union said, further alleging management continues proposing worse terms than their previous contracts.
