WRITERS GUILD 3-YEAR DEAL WITH CBS FOR ITS US TV AND RADIO STAFF
January 11th 2008 08:42
CBS and the Writers Guild of America have settled a three-year-old contract impasse, according to the Wall Street Journals.
The two outfits have reached a tentative employment agreement for 500 news writers, editors, desk assistants and others who work for CBS's television and radio outlets. The agreement, which will run until April 1, 2010, will now be subject to approval from the union's membership.
The contract is separate from that of the striking Hollywood writers, who work on network entertainment shows, including prime-time and late-night programs. The agreement comes seven weeks after CBS employees voted to authorise a strike in a bid to kick-start stalled negotiations. The employees never actually walked off the job, but the strike authorisation drew attention to their dispute
