STRIKE AGAINST STRIKERS?

In an embarrassing turn of events for the Writers Guild of America, employees of the East Coast branch, who are represented by the Newspaper Guild, are planning to go on strike, claiming that the WGA East has attempted to modify a contract that was ratified by members last October. "It's like a car salesman demanding that you sign a contract after he's changed all the numbers you had agreed upon," Newspaper Guild President Bill O'Meara told the New York Post. A Writers Guild spokesperson said that the dispute has been submitted to the National Labor Relations Board for resolution.
