A petition signed by more than 1,250 WGA members, including John Oliver and Seth Meyers, has been sent to PBS calling on the public station to engage with the union on key issues after months of stalling.
“WGA members have waited since July for WGBH, THIRTEEN and PBS SoCal to agree to meet — but the PBS employers didn’t come to the table with their proposals or respond to ours until the end of September, for a contract that was supposed to expire on October 9,” reads the petition, which was delivered Thursday morning to PBS management at the start of contract negotiations for the day.
