(From Cynopsis)
As the writers' strike continues, there's a new bent to it you should be aware of.
CBS NEWS and ABC NEWS writers for both television and radio, are also members of the WGA EAST, and both have been working without a contract since 2005.
Later on this week, Guild members will come together to vote to authorize a strike, which gives their union the authorization to call a strike if they choose too.
The Guild represents approximately 700 news writers at the two networks.
It should be noted that not all news writers are members of the WGA, but rather are represented by NABET, both of which negotiate their deals separately with each network.
And there are still others who are not members of any union, and may have instead personal services contracts with the networks.
