NABET-CWA Grants Strike Authority To Negotiators

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/15/2007 8:58:00 AM

As expected, the members of the NABET-CWA broadcast union have voted "overwhelmingly" to give its negotiating committee the power to call a strike against ABC. The move is not unusual for a contentious negotiation.

had recently bristled over a proposal that would have modified the seniority system.
