CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Nearly 300 CBS News writers who belong to the Writers Guild of America have voted to authorize a strike against the network, the union said Monday.
Some 81% of voting writers moved to approve a possible strike, the WGA said.
The television and radio writers, working in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., have been working under an expired contract since April 2005. The workers have not received pay raises since April 2004. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/cbs-news-writers-authorize-strike/story.aspx?guid={22E9A420-8BB0-4C13-A274-5C65AADBEA71}&siteid=yahoomy
