Sesame Street Writers Vote to Strike, Picketing Set to Begin Next Week

The unanimous decision by Sesame Street's writers follows stalled contract negotiations, with picketing planned outside Sesame Workshop's offices unless a deal is reached.

All 35 writers of Sesame Street, represented by the Writers Guild of America, have voted to strike due to unresolved contract negotiations.
The current contract is set to expire on April 19, with potential picketing scheduled to start on April 24 if no agreement is reached.
The writers are seeking industry-standard raises, better residuals, and union coverage for animation and social media work.
Sesame Workshop, a non-profit organization, has been in negotiations since February 13 but has yet to reach a satisfactory agreement with the writers.
The strike could significantly impact the production of Sesame Street and other related children's programming.
