Sad to say this will be my last day at @WGAEast , so after today this twitter account won't exist anymore. If you want to be in touch, make sure you have my phone or email :) Been such an honor to support the amazing @bdgunion and @HearstUnion in winning their first contracts!

I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.
Join the WGA as we picket the @peacock NewFronts in NYC to demand a fair contract on May 2, 1:30pm - 4pm, at 415 5th Avenue.

-automatic 3.25% raise for all unit members
-new salary minimums

-six weeks of severance pay for EVERY worker from day one
-health care coverage, PTO, and paid holidays for part-time workers
Sat down with @jonlovett to talk about the importance of unions and what exactly they provide for us, especially when bargaining with big businesses #WGAStrong
"If push comes to shove, a strike is incredibly important to show these companies that we mean business and that we won’t stand for them trying to take our livelihoods in Hollywood." #WGAStrong
Watch @MorePerfectUS's video on why the WGA took a strike authorization vote ⬇️
WGA members have authorized a strike by 97.95%. Writers are ready for a deal from the studios that allows writers to share in the success of the content they create and build a stable life #WGAStrong
"AMPTP needs to stop screwing around and come to the table with reasonable responses to the WGA’s core demands for its new three-year contract before the old one expires on May 1," writes @latimes https://t.co/8nxEK9CpQg #WGAstrong#1u
