The WGA West has scored another small victory: organizing more new-media writers at CBS studios.
Fifteen news, promo, and sports writers who produce content for CBS’ Internet operations in the Los Angeles area unanimously voted to seek representation by the WGAw in a tally conducted by the National Labor Relations Board. The writers work at KCAL/KCBS, CBS TV City, and CBS Radio/KNX and will begin to negotiate a contract with their employer.
WGAW union rep Lynda Whittaker and organizer Laura Watson worked with shop stewards Kathy Kiernan, Scott Gutman and Brett Galde to organize the writers.
“This is good news for new-media writers,” said WGAW president Patric Verrone, who has pushed to organize nontraditional media during the four years he’s been in office.
