"Overworked, understaffed and largely dismissed by management, workers deployed the day-long work stoppage as a matter of last resort and, tentatively, it worked."
"San Francisco members were most concerned with securing an annual wage increase and reimbursement around tolling. For many workers who live in the East Bay and commute into the city, the odd hours make public transit a non-starter."
"All I can really say is I'm glad we reached an agreement and we're being compensated a little more than we have been."
"A strike seemingly could've been avoided had management agreed to the same wage increase a month prior."
A tentative agreement was reached between CBS News 24/7 team and CBS/Paramount management after a 24-hour walkout. The three-year agreement is seen as a victory for the 60-person team at CBS affiliates in San Francisco and New York. Union members will vote to ratify the contract soon. Concerns included securing annual wage increases and toll reimbursements for commuting workers. The agreement reflects management's compromise on wage increases that were previously denied during negotiations.
