CNN News Channel suffered a stunning defeat when the National Labor Relations Board found them guilty of illegally firing over 100 employees back in 2003 and refusing to recognize the union. CNN must hire back over 100 employees, pay back wages, benefits, recognize the union and bargain a contract in good faith. It is reportedly one of the largest monetary awards in the history of the NLRB with over 200 million dollars in back wages, benefits, union dues and fees and attorney fees being paid out. http://www.nlrb.gov/case/05-CA-031828 http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/nlrb-orders-cnn-to-rehire-100-employees-compensate-200-1201306309/ http://broadcastunionnews.blogspot.com/2008/11/cwa-nabet-vs-cnn-lawsuit-update-union.html
