CNN agreed to pay $76 million in back pay to resolve a
long-running dispute over whether it fired workers in what amounted
to a union-busting move.
The agreement, announced Friday, is the largest monetary remedy
in the history of the National Labor Relations Board, the NLRB
said.
The dispute dates to 2003 when the cable news giant terminated a
contract with Team Video Services, which had been providing CNN
video services in Washington, D.C., and New York City. CNN then
hired a series of workers to do the same work, without recognizing
or bargaining with the two unions that had represented the TVS
employees.
CNN is a unit of AT&T Inc.'s (T) WarnerMedia.
