They think theycan treat us like children that dont have families,mortgages or dreams of retirement, she said.

　　OutsideViacomsheadquarters, several workers held posters with the words, Therestoo many of us to ignore. It was unclearhow many freelancers are on the companys payroll; an MTVNetworks spokeswoman said the figure was not known because it rises and fallsthroughout the year. The company has 5,500 full-time employees, excludingfreelancers, around the world.

　　Twofreelancers and one full-time employee, who asked not to be identified for fearof retribution, estimated that the percentage of freelancers in somedepartments exceeded 75 percent. Another labor action is expected to take placeoutside Viacom later this week. Members of the Writers Guild of America, whohave been on strike for five weeks, are expected to picket there on Thursday.
