The staff at CBS News' online livestream have been negotiating for a new contract since February.
With a tumultuous few months and more layoffs likely on the horizon, it’s no surprise that staff at CBS News are serious about what protections they still have. Journalists and staffers at CBS News 24/7, the news organization’s online livestream, are currently participating in a 24-hour walkout after failing to reach an agreement for a new contract with management.
The shop’s previous contract expired on March 9. Staff in New York and San Francisco are expected to picket outside their shops until the walkout ends at 6 am Wednesday. “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’s bargaining committee said in a press statement,. “Despite multiple days of good faith negotiations and a strike pledge signed by 95% of our members to emphasize the seriousness of our demands, management continues to offer us worse terms than in our last contracts. We chose this field to cover the news, but we believe this work stoppage is necessary to achieve a fair contract. We eagerly await an acceptable contract offer from Paramount—which just shelled out tens of billions of dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.” CBS News said in response, “We continue to negotiate in good faith and hope to reach a fair resolution quickly.” if they weren’t on board with her vision for the once-venerable organization. This, obviously, only stoked further fears that people’s jobs were in jeopardy, and that was, negotiations between the union and management broke down when the sides couldn’t agree on raises, schedules, and, crucially, severance. from CBS News and CNN joining resources, but joining one unionized work place with a non-unionized one generally means someone is going to have to change.
