QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article says that AFTRA sued, not "the anchors". The page doesn't seem to support that the case was over "the newscast's mere existence". The News Tribune source says compensation was an option: "The union therefore had no chance to bargain for extra pay or other compensation on behalf of the reporters and anchors." —Bagumba (talk) 11:22, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

• You make a fair point. It gets complicated to stuff in a hook because it's a lawsuit about the station producing this newscast. @Bagumba: Do you have any ALT1 ideas as a non-topic editor? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:17, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

  @Sammi Brie: Can the hook be salvaged (assuming I'm reading this right) along the lines of a labor union suing one station over a newcast aired on a different station?—Bagumba (talk) 03:23, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

  • @Bagumba: Maybe... Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:28, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that a Seattle TV station's newscast led to another station being sued by its labor union?

ALT2 ... that a labor union sued a Seattle TV station over a newscast aired on another Seattle TV station?

@Sammi Brie: ALT2 seems better (for ALT1, its arguably more station mgmt that's the issue than the actual newscast), can the 2nd "Seattle TV" be cut as repetitive e.g. "another Seattle TVstation"?—Bagumba (talk) 15:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Bagumba: Let's try an ALT2a: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 15:55, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

ALT2a ... that a labor union sued a Seattle TV station over a newscast aired on another station?

Approve ALT2a, which check out for being cited and interesting.—Bagumba (talk) 16:18, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
