The Writers Guild of America West said Friday that they have gained jurisdiction over 15 Internet writers employed at CBS studios, according to Daily Variety.

The writers voted unanimously to be represented by the WGA West.

"This is good news for new media writers," WGA West president Patric Verrone said. "As more and more news, sports, and promotional content is distributed on the Internet, it is essential that its writers win respect for their work and all the benefits of a WGA contract."
