Writers at Sesame Workshop are on the verge of a strike. These writers are fighting for a contract with industry-standard annual raises, improvements to residuals and coverage of all writing work performed for Sesame Workshop—including animation and social media segments. Their current contract expires this Friday, April 19.

If the company continues to refuse to engage on core issues and a deal can’t be reached by that deadline, Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) members at Sesame Workshop have unanimously voted to authorize a strike.

Your support will ensure that the negotiating committee has the leverage they need to make the strongest possible deal before their contract expires on Friday—or to have the WGAE Council and WGAW Board call for a strike if the company is still unwilling to meet its workers' reasonable demands.

Are you registered to vote? Here is just one example of many posters put out by different unions' campaign committees and education departments. The one below was, like the others, designed to increase union members' awareness of their right to vote, but also of the necessary steps they need to take before doing so.

Richard Trumka confirms he’s screwed up bigly. He let down the workers. No excuses here.

Jack Posobiec “Look at all the physical cognitive dissonance tells the AFL-CIO president gives in this clip He knows how bad he screwed up backing Biden” Tough tittie kitty! Biden did it! Trump told you so and you believed Old Dirty Grandpa! Impeach the Mfer!   Thank you, Anon

The anniversary of the Aug. 28, 1963, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom is approaching. The historic event is best remembered for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

What the capitalist media will almost never mention are the 10 demands of the march, including “A massive federal program” to train and hire all unemployed workers“on meaningful and dignified jobs at decent wages.” With 30 million people currently out of work, this 57-year-old demand is even more needed today.
