‘Sesame Street’ Writers Approve WGA Strike Authorization Vote as Contract Expiration Looms
Writers employed by the producer of 'Sesame Street' have voted for a WGA East strike authorization as the April 19 contract expiration approaches.
The 35 writers represented by the union have been in negotiations with the production company behind “Sesame Street” and other children’s programs since February. “Our demands would be extremely meaningful for the affected writers, particularly those in animation who are currently being excluded from basic union benefits and protections like pension and healthcare. We hope for a speedy and amicable resolution to these negotiations so that we can continue to do the work of helping the next generation grow smarter, stronger and kinder.”
