There is more drama behind the scenes at CBS News as staff plan to go on strike on Tuesday (March 17) over a pay dispute, throwing the network into chaos.
According to TheWrap, the CBS News 24/7 team is set to stage a 24-hour walkout after negotiations with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss imploded in recent days. The division, which employees 60 people, delivered its strike pledge to management last week after its current three-year contract expired without a new deal.
