CNN has agreed to a settlement worth $76 million with the National Labor Relations Board, in a backpay dispute battle involving union workers that had been going on since 2003.
The $76 million is the largest monetary remedy in the history of the National Labor Relations Board. The backpay amount, larger than what the Agency collects on average in a typical year, is expected to benefit over 300 individuals.
“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. A representative for CNN did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
