I’m
seeking re-election to the council because the work of getting a
contract from ABC and CBS is not yet done. And because as soon as it is
done, it’s time to start planning for the next negotiations. I’ve
learned a lot in the two years since I was elected to the
council. I’d like to build on what I’ve learned and the
connections I’ve made to make sure there’s better communication between
the union and my colleagues at ABC news and at other news shops.
That includes making sure my co-workers have a better understanding of
the state of labor relations within the entertainment industry.
It also includes working with freelance members of the council as they
head into their negotiations on the MBA. I’ve watched Chris Albers,
Warren Leight, Tom Fontana and others step forward and work to
strengthen the WGA (east and west) ahead of those talks. That
work needs to continue, with closer ties between news writers and
freelancers - and I’d like to help.
