New York City, USA: Employees behind children’s TV staple “Sesame Street” have successfully unionized under OPEIU Local 153 after a decisive vote. Sparked by surprise layoffs, the staff—writers, producers, editors—sought formal bargaining rights. The move reflects an ongoing wave of union activism in media and nonprofit organizations. Management at Sesame Workshop accepted the election results and will soon begin contract talks. Advocates applaud the “cooperative spirit” of Sesame Street’s brand being extended to labor rights.
- If you work in creative or nonprofit fields, unionizing can protect job security and ensure equitable pay scales
- Institutions with beloved public images aren’t immune to sudden layoffs—be aware of your workplace’s financial realities
- Expect more union campaigns at media nonprofits or cultural organizations following this high-profile success
