Replying to @SesameWorkersUSo excited for you all! Stand strong with Slimey 🐛!- Slimey is here to countdown just 1 day until we vote yes in our union election! Slimey reminds us that every voice, no matter how big or small, can make an impact 🧡 #sesamestreet #sesameworkshop #sesameworkersunion #1u #union
- We believe that EVERYONE laid off from Sesame Workshop contributed to our work and our mission, and therefore deserves severance. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues because we do not believe that only SOME of us deserve dignity and respect.
- Anthony is a Sesame employee who was just laid off while he awaits an anticipated kidney transplant. As a full time contract worker, he was denied severance-- unlike his colleagues considered "staff." ALL workers contribute to our mission, so ALL workers deserve severance.
00:00 - We expect @SesameWorkshop to uphold our shared values of fairness, transparency, and respect by recognizing our union and collectively bargaining over our working conditions and the terms of yesterday's layoffs.
- “My mom is taking me to the train station to vote in our election tomorrow and she is repping SWU 💪” Huge kudos to Sarah for traveling up for the election and her amazing mom for the support 💚
- Very disappointed in @NPR's take on our union on Morning Edition (now attached to the article previously shared) that suggested we made an "attempt" to unionize and that we "wanted" (past tense) a union. We ARE a union and we WANT a union and we are ACTING like a union-- proudly!
- We are devastated to see 20% of our beloved colleagues laid off by the same leadership that has yet to recognize our union. Consider letting @SesameWorkshop and @sesamestreet know that you expect them to allow us to bargain over the terms of these massive layoffs.I am disappointed to see the layoffs of @sesamestreet employees following their announcement of unionization. I call on @SesameWorkshop to negotiate with @opeiu153 and @SesameWorkersU over the terms of these layoffs and recognize the union.
- (1/2) Why does Big Bird look so sad? We can’t be sure but it could have to do with @SesameWorkshop management denying workers severance with $439,021,780 in assets (The financial data included is pulled from our most recent 990 tax form, published on sesameworkshop.org)
- Today is brought to you by the letter E! Meet Ed 💚 Ed supports SWU because “it has brought me closer to many of the people in my neighborhood.” Favorite Muppet: Cookie Monster 💙 @sesamestreet @sesameworkshop #sesameworkersunion #sesamestreet #sesameworkshop #union #1u
- H is for Hazel! Hazel is voting yes on Wednesday because “the union gives us a chance to look out for one another and make our commitment to the work even stronger!”💚 #sesamestreet #sesameworkshop #sesameworkersunion #union #1u
