Writers Guild Philly

WGA members at Sesame Workshop have reached a new tentative agreement! Writers won historic jurisdiction and minimum rates for animation and new media programs, protections against AI, paid parental leave benefits, and substantial improvements to new media residuals 🎉✊

@FarFarrAway @Jalon323 Yes, some of the best Indian food on the East Coast. But also really good Portuguese food.

@Jalon323 Oooo...I will definitely keep that in mind! Thanks!

What's good and weird in Boston? Obviously, nothing as amazing as in Philly, but I'm going for the first time (it's a mini getaway but also reconnaissance, should I need to fight for Philly's honor against Boston in the future) and would love your tips!

@FarFarrAway Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Walk across Mass Ave Bridge. Walk from Mass Ave through Newbury all the way to Boston Commons. Dinner (and cannolis) at the North End.

Philly, you still have time to vote in the primaries today -- even if (or especially if) you're UNCOMMITTED to a certain candidate.🗳️🫡

BREAKING: The writers of Sesame Street have authorized a strike — unanimously. The 35 writers, unionized with the WGA, could start picketing outside the Sesame workshop offices in NYC as soon as April 24th.

Sesame Street is union made...

Today, for the first time in history, @latimes workers are walking out on strike to fight back against layoffs. Don't cross that digital picket line. Do not engage with Los Angeles Times content on Jan 19. Solidarity with @latguild. ✊

BREAKING: @Netflix Production Accountants in New York and New Jersey Unionize With IATSE!! The streamer agreed to voluntarily recognize the group after a majority signed authorization cards to join Local 161.

@Teamsters No need for Sinophobia. The Chinese workers are getting exploited with lower wages, like everyone else. Protest exploitation. Don't amplify hate.

Teamster aviation techs are unparalleled in their expertise. Keeping their jobs in the US is essential to preserving safety. Tell your Senators to ensure the final FAA reauthorization includes a crucial provision combating airlines outsourcing MRO work ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/59cab5…

#SAG Actors, I want to make you aware of some of the language in the #AI portion of the tentative SAG agreement. Though SAG leadership made much effort to protect members in AI, there are many issues you should look at. I have saved the most serious issue for the end. 1/

I will be taking the actual deal document (and not the “summary” SAG is planning to release) and explaining the violating #AI permissions the AMPTP will have over you. I’m very disappointed that the SAG leadership and committee did not take my guidance on the #AI issues. 1/
