"Sesame Workshop Writers Set to Strike on Friday Without Deal"

Writers at Sesame Workshop have unanimously authorized a strike if a deal isn't reached by Friday when their current contract expires. The Writers Guild of America stated that the writers are committed to their work and are seeking annual raises, improvements to residuals, and union coverage for animation and social media segments. Sesame Workshop expressed hope for an agreement and emphasized the writers' importance to their creative team. If a strike occurs, picketing will begin on April 24 outside Sesame Workshop's offices in New York City.
