WGA STRIKE WATCH: DAY SIXTEEN

Despite news that negotiations will resume on Monday, the New York Times is reporting that "several hundred CBS News employees represented by the Writers Guild of America have voted to authorize a strike against the company. The vote enables the guild to call a strike at any time, although a walkout is not imminent. A strike could affect CBS television and radio newscasts, both nationally and in four local markets."

Comics luminary Mark Evanier created an article for the New Republic discussing the history of WGA strikes. The Los Angeles Times has a story on a failed initiative to unionize writers on reality shows.

Strike news may be less intensive now that the AMPTP and the WGA have agreed to a media blackout, but CBR will present coverage of today's Solidarity with Writers march and rally in Hollywood.
