[WGA Writers Guild CBS News logo] “We are often required to extend/change our daily lives to meet schedule changes despite our personal obligations outside of work due to the nature of working in a news environment. Therefore, it is only fair that we are compensated for it.” - CBS News Producer

[WGA Writers Guild CBS News logo] “No employee of any company should ever have to ask themselves ‘is it worth risking my life to get to work this morning,’ but often that is the case for news employees covering the weather. Likewise, no employee should ever have to ask themselves ‘do I need to call out sick this week, or overdraw my bank account just to fill up my gas tank.’ Certainly not employees of CBS News. And no parent should ever be faced with the choice of staying home to look after their sick children, or risk being looked down upon at work for an extended absence.” - CBS News Producer

[WGA Writers Guild CBS News logo] it's about the high cost of living. My rent goes up every year. Groceries cost me hundreds of dollars a week. I'm sure you've heard all of this and more from other employees...but apparently I need to reiterate it here because the company is threatening to take money out of our pockets. Money we desperately need just to keep on living our lives.” - CBS News Producer

[WGA Writers Guild CBS News logo] “I am writing this testimonial with a bank account that is overdrawn as we speak. This fact can be attributed entirely to the expenses I have to pay for my (car) commute for my early morning shift, and the ripple effect they have on my budget.” - CBS News Producer

Our CBS News 24/7 members deserve better than overdrawn accounts and forfeited weekends. Fair wages. Fair scheduling. Fair treatment. Fair contract now!

You could feel the union power on the CFU-UAW picket line yesterday. And you could feel it even more strongly today when they announced a deal with NYU.

A huge congratulations to the faculty members who fought so hard for this victory.

Power belongs in the hands of working people!

WGA Statement on CBS News Layoffs Once again, our members have lost their jobs due to the recklessness and greed of their bosses. CBS News Radio is an institution, where generations of the finest journalists in the country spent their careers reporting the news and holding people in power to account. The decision to simply shutter CBS News Radio is indicative of Bari Weiss and David Ellison's inept leadership. The dozens of CBS journalists laid off today have served the American people through their talent and dedication. Given the damage David Ellison has done to CBS News in mere months, the Ellison family must not be permitted to acquire CNN or any other vital news outlets. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues and friends and will fight to protect journalists.

Read the statement from @wgaeast.bsky.social and @wgawest.bsky.social on the layoff of Guild members at CBS News.

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues and friends and will fight to protect journalists.

Post-Walkout Update: This morning, at 6:00am ET, WGA East members at CBS News 24/7 returned to work following a 24-hour walkout that came about after management let the 60-member bargaining unit’s contract expire without reaching a new deal. The Union is in communication with CBS News management and awaits a response that fully addresses the issues still on the table. The CBS News 24/7 Union thanks the public, elected officials and labor allies for the outpouring of support.

The CBS News 24/7 Union thanks the public, elected officials and labor allies for the outpouring of support during our 24-hour walkout. ✊

If you’ve got $8 billion to buy CBS News, you’ve got enough to pay the journalists enough to live here.

Proud to have their backs in this fight. #FairContractNow (2/2)

Thank you so much for joining us, @bradlander.bsky.social!

Fair contract now, @cbsnews.com/Paramount.
