Breitbart: CNN has agreed to shell out $76 million in a back pay case that involved union employees, making it the largest monetary settlement in the history of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Variety reported that the labor dispute began in 2003 when the media company fired a group of unionized subcontractors working as technicians and in other support roles for Team Video Services before hiring non-union employees to replace those workers.
The action sparked a litigation war between the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians and Communications Workers of America that has lasted more than a decade.
More than 300 people will take part in the settlement. The NLRB, a federal agency that allows employees to unionize in the workplace, said in a statement that $76 million is more than what the agency typically sees in a back pay enforcement case. read more
They should be banned from airports. This is embarrassing. LOL.

Good thing for Jeff Zucker that AT&T has deep pockets and a corporatist, statist, oligarchy agenda. He’s doing exactly as he is told.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
I read that somewhere. Some version of it is probably in Proverbs.
When combined with whatever they paid Nick Sandman, this has been an expensive week. All expenses covered by insurance, no doubt. You cannot work with.morons without having moron insurance as a business expense line item.
Should make for some interesting board meetings. That airport payout might start to make a dent.
No raises at CNN this year!
THIS CNN SUCK!
Supporting unions publicly while firing them when they are on staff! What does Bernie think about this?
Fuck the unions.
Legal plunder – nothing more.
CNN sucks.
CWA sucks worse.
NABET sucks worser.
These unions contribute NOTHING. They are purely parasitic.
As much as I despise CNN they should hire and fire whomever they want.
