CBS said it reached an early agreement on a new contract with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.



The union’s current deal with CBS was set to expire Jan. 31, 2018. The new agreement has been ratified by workers and is effective Feb. 1, 2018 through April 30, 2021.



The IBEW represents CBS workers in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami and Atlanta, plus employees working on events televised on CBS Sports and CBS News.
