CBS News Digital’s WGA East Union Members Reach Deal on Three-Year Contract, One Week Before Skydance Is Set to Take Over

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
Writers Guild of America East members at CBS News Digital have reached a deal on their first collective-bargaining agreement after over a year of negotiations. The three-year contract, ratified by the 46-member bargaining unit, includes minimum salaries, guaranteed pay raises, severance pay for layoffs due to AI, and extra pay for overnight shifts. The contract also codifies remote-work policies until December 31, 2027, and establishes protections against job loss due to generative AI. This agreement comes just before Skydance Media's acquisition of CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, on August 7.
