[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.”

[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

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.
