On Thursday, Sept. 14, at the Warner Bros. Discovery/Netflix picket line, thousands of union members and supporters joined together in an incredible showing of solidarity for the New York State AFL-CIO and New Jersey State AFL-CIO / SAG-AFTRA and WGAE Solidarity Picket.
Following a picket line that stretched around the entire block, SAG-AFTRA New York Local Vice President Jim Kerr hosted a lineup of speakers that included New York Attorney General Letitia James; New York state Senate Deputy Leader Mike Gianaris; New York state Sen. Lea Webb; New York Local President Ezra Knight; WGAE President Michael Winship; SAG-AFTRA and WGA member John Leguizamo; SAG-AFTRA Philadelphia Local President Nicole Izanec; SAG-AFTRA Executive Director, New York Local, Labor Policy and International Affairs Rebecca Damon; and WGAE Executive Director Lowell Peterson. A special thank you to NYS AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento and NJ AFL-CIO President Charles Wowkanech for sharing their words of support and joining SAG-AFTRA and the WGA as our partners for this special picket.
