(Reuters) - Unionized journalists at Forbes said they were staging a three-day walk-out from Thursday to protest alleged denial of rights and slow contract negotiations that have stretched for more than two years. The planned walk-out, which started at 9 a.m. ET, marks the first known work stoppage in the magazine's 106-year history, the NewsGuild of New York said. The guild said it took action against the company on Thursday, filing an unfair labor practice charge on behalf of the Forbes Union. Last month, journalists at the Washington Post planned a 24-hour strike amid prolonged contract talks and staff cuts at the newspaper.
