Check out what Ed Lee (Comedic Arts Faculty and Writer's Guild Member) has to say about the writer's strike: https://t.co/pN6WsSN0JY

[EmersonStaffUnion @EmersonUnion]

Three weeks ago 500+ @EmersonAlumni & allies reached out to @EmersonCollege petitioning our alma mater to stand in solidarity with us and the @WGAEast @WGAWest. Here's the college's statement.

[Norman Lear @TheNormanLear]

I stand with writers and with the Writers Guild of America, my union. The industry is stronger when we stand together to protect our collective community. #WGAStrong 4/4

Why Are So Many Young People Joining Labor Unions? https://t.co/42BVIEIbOP

"It’s as if we’ve been forced to accept that this is just how society works: A handful of people hold the power and the money while the rest of us live paycheck to paycheck," Jeanie Bergen in @TheCut https://t.co/PPHU5k3cEx #WGAstrong #WGAstrike

[The Feng Hunter™ @TheFengHunter]

People have asked me why I’m invested in the WGA strike.

1. It’s the right thing to do;

2. A number of students from my MFA alumni @EmersonCollege — who played commencement speaker host to WB CEO Pamela Abdy — have been approached as “summer writing interns” for 2023. Unpaid.

[Amy DePaola @amydepaola]

Emerson Alumni ATTENTION! Come reminisce about Bolyston and Tremont and show @EmersonCollege we are serious about unions and a fair deal! #WGAstrong

[Boston DSA Labor Working Group @BostonDSALabor]

Emerson threw the CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures an honorary degree and commencement speaking slot while studios throw their writers out on the curb to strike for their livelihoods and profession.

Solidarity with @WGAEast and @WGAWest and all grads going into film and TV!

["Face It, Tiger" now streaming everywhere! @rolandhighlife]

Wrote a bit about the slap-in-the-face disappointment I felt as an @EmersonAlumni when I learned that @EmersonCollege had decided to cross the picket-line of the WGA strike and platform a film studio exec.

I love our alma mater, and I love our
@EmersonAlumni
- our mafia. I known our college can be worthy of the love we alum have for it… if WE push them. Community > corporations. DM me anytime,
@EmersonAlumni & I hope to see you on 5/25 on the line. #wgastrong (end thread)

[Judalina Neira @TheJudalina]

Finally, join us in Los Angeles at an Emerson community picket in solidarity with the
@WGAWest
on 5/25 at 9am at NBCU (3969 Lankershim). Bring your friends, your family, your fellow mafia. As an NBCU lot coord, I beg of you… bring water and ice! (9)

PS! @EmersonAlumni picket at NBC/Universal Lot (3969 Lankershim Blvd) Thurs., May 25th 9am!

[Maria San Filippo @cinemariasf]

@EmersonCollege's selecting Pamela Abdy as '23 commencement speaker sends anti-union/-labor message. Abdy is CEO/chair of Warner Bros’ Film Division & should have been replaced the minute a labor action was called. Fellow Emersonians, please sign petition https://t.co/5zec7bNAgg

[EmersonStaffUnion @EmersonUnion]

The @EmersonUnion is proud that @Daniels @dunkwun are @EmersonAlumni! They put the solid in #solidarity. We stand strong with all our alumni and faculty at the picket line. #WGAStrong #WritersUnite #WGAStrike #FairContractNow

[EmersonStaffUnion @EmersonUnion]

The @EmersonUnion supports @WGAEast & @WGAWest members fighting for a contract that ensures fair compensation, benefits & protections for all writers and urges the studios to negotiate in good faith. #WGAStrong #WritersUnite #FairContractNow #solidarity

[Writers Guild of America East @WGAEast]

“If you're hiring marginalized writers, Black writers, queer writers, but aren't giving them the financial support to keep a roof over their head, it’s meaningless to say we’re supporting diverse stories.” - WGAE writer @chescaleigh in @TheRoot. #WGAStrong

"There's fairness and there's fairness." Thanks @EmersonCollege @EmersonAlumni & trustee @dherzog77 for reminding us of this conversation with @jonstewart about the @WGAEast @WGAWest strike of 2007-2008 & the importance of honoring creativity & creative ideas to solve a problem.

[Steven Greenhouse @greenhousenyt]

A new study finds that working-class union households hold nearly 4X as much median wealth ($201,240) as the typical working-class nonunion household ($52,221)

This suggests that union membership vastly increases wealth for working-class families
