You won't see it in the pages of the Daily News tomorrow (though we did pitch the story!) but the City Council just passed the Too Tough To Die resolution, supporting the unionized reporters, photographers and editors of the Daily News in our fight for a fair contract from Alden Global Capital

Happy Diwali! May the festival of lights illuminate your life with joy and prosperity ✨

In the tumultuous media industry, guaranteed severance is a necessary security. Our first contract ensures laid-off employees get at least 4 weeks of severance because when companies cut jobs, stability and respect should be guaranteed.

We have friends everywhere! WGAE members joined the #NoKings march on Saturday to fight back against the current administration as they work to dismantle unions, attack the First Amendment, fire federal workers, defund public services and target immigrant families.

Equity and The Broadway League have reached a tentative agreement on the Production Contract. Now we will bring the deal to our members for ratification, and in the meantime, we are putting our full support behind AFM Local 802 as they work with the League to reach a deal that averts a strike.

Today, unjust charges were filed against SEIU USWW President David Huerta, arrested while peacefully exercising his constitutional rights at an LA ICE raid. SEIU members will not be silenced when our communities and rights are under attack. Our statement: www.seiu.org/2025/10/char...

Raising starting salaries in our 2023 contract was a huge win. As the cost of living continues to rise, we’re ready to keep building on that progress. Everyone deserves pay that keeps pace with life!

March with the WGAE and friends this Saturday, October 18, as we fight back against the Trump administration's authoritarian actions that threaten our democracy, free speech, workers’ rights and the labor movement. RSVP: wgaea.st/no-kings-1018

2nd @hearstunion.bsky.social contract negotiations, here we come 💪

Broadway workers (members of @actorsequity.bsky.social & @afm-union.bsky.social Local 802) have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a STRIKE if a fair contract isn't reached. Sign the solidarity letter to pledge not to cross the picket line if a strike is called: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

Today we honor and recognize the struggles Indigenous people continue to face in America, while celebrating the rich culture and history of Indigenous communities. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

Our union allies at @actorsequity.bsky.social and @afm-union.bsky.social Local 802 have both been in negotiations with The Broadway League since August, and they now need our help to secure a fair contract. Sign the solidarity letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

For what it’s worth: Speaking as a showrunner with two writers rooms going on now, this article from Ankler is insane. I don’t know who the insider is, but the reporter should call bullshit. This is a GPT press release.

A union will drastically improve your work life. If you work in nonfiction TV, documentary film, podcasting, online media or broadcast news, contact a representative from the WGA East to answer your questions. www.wgaeast.org/organize/con...

Union A-Z: We prefer voluntary recognition because it’s faster, it saves everyone time and money, and it shows real respect for workers’ voices. ✅

A good year and a meaningful fast to those observing Yom Kippur ✨

“Disney was targeted with protests and consumer threats to boycott its services (i.e., by canceling Disney+) as well as criticism from Hollywood guilds and others for the perception it wasn’t standing up for First Amendment rights.”

Thank you to everyone who joined today’s rally. We can holster our lightsabers (for now) - Kimmel is back on ALL ABC stations!

The two bravest groups or writers right now: 1) Late-night 2) PBS We represent both at @wgaeast.bsky.social

TODAY at 3:30pm ET, @TheAnkler.com is hosting a free, open-to-all Zoom meeting about mergers: Why a Paramount-Warner deal would devastate jobs, the theatrical business and the industry as a whole — and what you can do to make your voice heard about them. Learn more: theankler.com/p/town-hall-...

Big shoutout to all folks who were boots on the ground protesting and drawing attention to Kimmel's suspension this past week. 👇👇👇

East coast folks! NEXSTAR AND SINCLAIR, which own a HUGE percentage of your local broadcasters, are still kowtowing to fascist 47 and his administration's attempt to stifle free speech. This is bigger than Kimmel. Get out there, (dress like a Jedi?), and let your voice be heard!

Join us this Friday, Sept 29 for a Star Wars-themed rally outside Nexstar's Manhattan office (at 1301 6th Ave between 52nd & 53rd) to demand that Nexstar and Sinclair air Jimmy Kimmel Live! and refuse to comply with future regime attacks on truth and freedom. RSVP: wgaea.st/926-rally

“ABC just revealed that Jimmy Kimmel Live! is returning on Tuesday night after ‘thoughtful conversations’ with parent company Disney.” 👏 deadline.com/2025/09/jimm...

Inspiring to join fellow @wgaeast.bsky.social members in leafleting audience members waiting in line for ABC/Disney shows -- so many were eager to join the fight for free speech.

“It’s hard to push back when you don’t have power, but Bob Iger and Dana Walden have power,” [WGAW President Meredith] Stiehm said of Disney’s CEO and entertainment chair. “They know what this is. This is appeasement. This is cowardice. They’re being bullied. And they should say no."

It was a great action. This audience knew the stakes and was ready to let Disney know. At least one audience member sent a letter while waiting in line.

Today, we leafleted audience members in line for The View, Good Morning America, and LIVE with Kelly & Mark to encourage them to join the fight to show ABC/Disney no president or corporation can deny our right to free speech.

Join us THIS MONDAY at 9:15am for a flyering action to demand that ABC/Disney executives Dana Walden and Debra OConnell reinstate Jimmy Kimmel Live! We’ll meet outside the WGAE office and head to the ABC offices up the street from there. RSVP: wgaea.st/Kimmel-Flyering

Yesterday, hundreds of WGA members and allies rallied outside Disney/ABC's offices to demand Jimmy Kimmel Live! be reinstated. Thank you to everyone who showed up in the name of protecting free speech and union jobs ✊

Join us THIS MONDAY at 9:15am for a flyering action to demand that ABC/Disney executives Dana Walden and Debra OConnell reinstate Jimmy Kimmel Live! We’ll meet outside the WGAE office and head to the ABC offices up the street from there. RSVP: wgaea.st/Kimmel-Flyering

Our union, the WGA East, represents most of the late-night writers. They are middle-class workers who toil crazy hours writing the jokes and bits you see and hear as you end your day. They love what they do but they work their asses off. Now their careers are in peril. @wgaeast.bsky.social
