CBS Says Unfair Labor Charges Filed By Writers Guild Are 'Baseless'

In response to CBS’s decision to “severely limit” the access of representatives from the Writers Guild of America, East, to the station’s facilities, the WGA this week filed an unfair labor practice with the National Labor Relations Board. CBS-WGA employees say they have been working without a contract since April 1, 2005, and “are clearly losing patience with CBS’s unfair management practices and lack of interest in offering them a fair contract,” says Mona Mangan, executive director of the Writers Guild of America, East.
