CNN to fork over $76 million in back pay as part of a record settlement with unionized camera operators who were replaced in 2003, labor board says.

CNN has agreed to pay $76 million in back pay as part of a record settlement with the federal labor board after the cable television network terminated the contracts of unionized camera operators in 2003.

The settlement is the “largest monetary remedy” in the National Labor Relations Board’s 85-year history, the agency said in a statement Friday. The settlement will benefit more than 300 people, officials said. “The settlement demonstrates the board’s continued commitment to enforcing the law and ensuring employees who were treated unfairly obtain the monetary relief ordered by the board,” general counsel Peter B. Robb said in the statement.

The NLRB said CNN ended its contract with a unionized subcontractor, Team Video Services, and then replaced the workers with new employees “without recognizing or bargaining with the two unions that had represented the TVS employees.”“After more than a decade of litigation, negotiation and appeals we are pleased to have resolved a longstanding legal matter,” a CNN representative said.

xeni Any time the Unions win, we ALL win. As we learned during the 50's and 60's, Union wins raise all boats.

And they're upset all of the time about Trump. Lol. CNN silly rabbit tricks are for kids.

Typical democratic scheme, keep the people down.

WOW CNN ! It’s not your month for losing lawsuits, is it.

Where do they get the money to pay this and Sandmann? Do they print it themselves? Do they have black mail on people? Are they funded by George Soros?

How do they have so much money with such low ratings?

Daaaaaaamn, how far “back” did $76 million dollars go!?

Nice that's what you call money justice system

Oh, it’s like that?

I wonder why cnn isn't reporting this one
