The Organization Behind Sesame Street Lays Off Staff ‘Just One Day After’ 200 Of Its Employees Requested The Organization Recognize Its Union Organization Effort

Michael Hill at NewscastStudio reports the Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind the classic Children’s Show Sesame Street, will part ways with Staffers just months after Warner Brothers Discovery announced it was ending its partnership with the organization. It was not immediately clear how many people would be laid off. The layoffs come just one day after 200 of its Employees requested the organization recognize its Union Organization effort. Parts of the Organization’s Staff, including Puppeteers, Cast Members, Studio Crew and Writers, are already Unionized. The organization is expected to “downsize significantly,” according to a memo from CEO Sherrie Rollins Westin that has been sent to Staff, according to National Public Radio.
