Writers employed by Sesame Workshop, the producer of Sesame Street, have voted unanimously to support a strike authorization vote from the Writers Guild of America. Negotiations between the 35 writers and the production company have been ongoing since February, with the current contract set to expire on April 19th. The union has stated that if an agreement is not reached by that date, picketing will begin on April 24th outside Sesame Workshop’s Manhattan headquarters. The writers are seeking a fair contract that includes benefits and protections, such as pension and healthcare, and hope for a swift resolution to continue their work in educating and entertaining children.
