The sum, which brings the lengthy battle to an end and will be shared among 300 individuals.
The federal agency that oversees workplace disputes has just approved CNN’s offer of $76 million in back pay for camera operators and technicians, who accused the cable news channel of firing them because they were part of a union.
The dispute stems back to 2003 when CNN terminated a contract with Team Video Services, a company that had been providing CNN video services in Washington, D.C., and New York City. This sparked a long legal battle, resulting in an administrative law judge ruling in 2008 that CNN’s actions violated the National Labor Relations Act.
After the case was remanded, the parties agreed to resolve their dispute through the Board’s Alternative Dispute Resolution program and this is the outcome.
