NEW YORK, NY (October 26, 2026)--Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) members at RadicalMedia have reached a deal with management on their first collective bargaining agreement. The contract was ratified nearly unanimously by the approximately 50-member bargaining unit covering Archival Producers, Story Producers, post production workers, field workers and many more.
Highlights from the five-year contract include:
*Established new rate minimums that increase 2% annually raises;
* Daily contributions to the Entertainment Industry Flex Plan health insurance for each covered employee;
* Paid holidays and paid bereavement leave;
* Minimum rest periods and comp days for extra days worked;
* Payment if show goes dark with short notice.
RadicalMedia is the production company behind popular nonfiction titles like THIS IS A GARDENING SHOW WITH ZACH GALIFIANAKIS, THE WEST, SUMMER OF SOUL, HOLLYWOOD BLACK, CONVERSATIONS WITH A KILLER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... 50 YEARS OF SNL MUSIC and JEFFREY EPSTEIN: FILTHY RICH.
Michael Rauch, WGAE VP of Film/TV/Streaming said, "We're thrilled RadicalMedia workers secured their first union contract. This agreement builds on protections nonfiction production workers have gone without for too long including rest periods, pay when production is paused on short notice, paid holidays and health care contributions. With RadicalMedia joining a growing list of organized nonfiction shops, the message to the industry is clear: union standards are becoming the norm."
The RadicalMedia bargaining committee said, "We're excited to have reached our first union contract with RadicalMedia and consider it an important milestone on the path to organizing the entire Nonfiction industry. We're especially proud to have won participation in the Flex Plan, as health insurance is often out of reach for those of us working in a freelance environment."
In addition to RadicalMedia, the WGAE includes members at Nonfiction production companies A+E Factual Studios, Jigsaw, Lucky 8, NBC News Service (f.k.a. Peacock), McGee Media, Sharp, Story Syndicate and Vox Entertainment.

KEENE, California, Oct. 28 [Category: Union] -- The United Farm Workers issued the following news release:
* * *
United Farm Workers union on the passing of Dolores Huerta
*
The below statement is attributable to United Farm Workers President Teresa Romero.
The United Farm Workers union mourns the passing and celebrates the life of UFW cofounder Dolores Huerta. A tireless advocate for farm workers, women, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and all marginalized people, Dolores was also a friend and mentor to generations of UFW organizers, members, volunteers and staff.
Her life's work was toempower her community to face and overcome injustices, and she has left farm workers and the entire Latino community stronger and more organized than she found it. Her commitment to civic engagement and bringing political power to disenfranchised people is a lesson we all should carry to the ballot box.
Dolores coined the United Farm Workers' historic motto: Si, Se Puede. Her advocacy helped bring an end to the exploitative Bracero program in the early 1960s. Later, she helped negotiate the 1986 Immigration Reform Act, which supported millions of naturalized American citizens who went on to make limitless contributions to this country.
Closest to our hearts, she helped found and lead the first and largest lasting farm workers' union in American history. Working with thousands of farm workers and their supporters, she help bring the first successful union recognition and union contracts for agricultural workers, establishing the United Farm Workers. That union, our union, represents thousands of farm workers in California, Oregon, Washington, and New York, raising wages, empowering workers, and improving lives every day the way only a union contract can.
Dolores' work remains as important now as ever, and it continues with her example and her inspiration before us. The greatest possible tribute to her life is for her work of organizing to continue.
Our greatest monument to her memory is for the union she helped found to continue to grow. Dolores fought for farm workers to the very end of her life. The union she helped found will always continue that work. We know that wherever farm workers gather to organize, we can count on her presence.
!Que Viva Dolores Huerta!
!Si Se Puede!

KILLEEN, Texas -- The American Federation of Government Employees today announced its endorsement of Frederick Haynes for election to the U.S. House representing Texas's 30th Congressional District in the Nov. 3 election.
The Rev.Frederick "Freddie" Haynes III is the senior pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas and the Democratic nominee in the 30th District. For more than four decades, Haynes has led Dallas' Friendship-West Baptist Church, growing it from fewer than 100 members to more than 13,000. Under his leadership, the church launched the THRIVE program, which gives young people paid jobs and job training, and has invested more than $3 million in students and historically Black colleges and universities. He has fought predatory lenders that trap working families in debt, and he is running on expanding access to affordable healthcare, housing and childcare, and on wage growth that keeps pace with the real cost of living.
"Federal employees are on the front lines of delivering the services Americans count on, and they need allies in Congress who will defend their rights on the job. Rev. Haynes is that kind of leader. AFGE is proud to stand with him, and I am proud to call him my friend," said AFGE National President Everett Kelley.
"Rev. Haynes has spent his career standing up for working people, and he will stand up for federal employees in Congress," said AFGE District 10 National Vice President Cheryl Eliano. "Federal workers in Texas care for veterans, support our military and serve their communities every day. They deserve a representative who respects their work and defends their rights on the job. AFGE is proud to endorse Rev. Haynes."
AFGE looks forward to working with leaders who know that protecting federal employees, defending collective bargaining rights, safeguarding civil service protections, and strengthening public services go hand in hand.
AFGE previously endorsed Texas State Rep. James Talarico for election to the U.S. Senate in November along with other candidates from the state running for the U.S. House.
About 250,000 federal employees live in Texas - caring for veterans, supporting the military, and getting Social Security recipients their benefits accurately and on time.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union in the country, representing more than 820,000 federal and D.C. government workers in all functions of government. AFGE represents more than 136,000 federal employees in District 10, which includes Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Panama, and Texas.

Nurses call out failure of hospital and health care industry to protect patients, communities amidst authoritarian surge
On Tuesday, Oct. 27, one week before the midterms, registered nurses in six U.S. cities demanded the country's major hospital groups do their part to protect free and fair elections. The protests were organized by members of National Nurses United, the nation's largestunion of registered nurses.
In an homage to South Korea's Light Stick Revolution, nurses and allies held up light sticks to symbolize the light they're shining on the violence and harm committed by the Trump administration. During the rallies, speakers detailed a long list of "red lines" crossed by the Trump administration and the failure of executives in the health care and hospital industry to stand up against these human and civil rights abuses.
"For far too long, nurses have singlehandedly fought to care for our patients in a broken, profit-driven system while our employers refuse to invest in safe patient care conditions," said NNU President Jamie Brown, RN. "Health care corporations and their executives claim to support us and our patients, but we've seen how they've rubber stamped the Trump administration's cruelty, letting lawless ICE agents into our hospitals to terrorize our patients and using A.I.-powered tech from notorious companies like Palantir to suck more and more profit from our broken health care system."
Photos and videos of the nationwide protests can be found here.
NNU President Brown, RN continued: "As the most trusted profession in the United States, we believe our duty is to pressure our employers, some of the wealthiest and most powerful health care corporations in the world, to stand with nurses and working people as we fight for every vote to be counted. We need free and fair elections, so we can take on the billionaire class, improve our patients' lives, and win a society where everyone is guaranteed a healthy life."
The protests took place in Washington, D.C.; Chicago, Ill.; Englewood, Colo.; and Oakland, Sacramento, and Ontario, Calif. outside the headquarters of Risant Health, CommonSpirit, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, Prime Healthcare, and HealthONE Swedish Hospital, which is owned and operated by the country's largest for-profit hospital group, HCA. Across the country, nurses were joined by allies, including other labor unions, immigrant rights groups, and health advocacy groups.
"The Bay Area has a critical role to play in defending democracy this fall," said Celi Tamayo-Lee, member of Bay Resistance. "Authoritarians have historically been stopped across the globe because people mobilize en masse and shut down the economy. If the results of this midterm election are not honored across the country, we in San Francisco are prepared to launch our campaign of mass action and non-cooperation."
"The ruling class wants you to believe that immigrants are the source of all our problems," said Gladis Ibarra, co-executive director of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition. "That couldn't be further from the truth. The real problem is the billionaire class that continues to exploit workers and wants us pointing fingers at each other instead of at them."
"We're hopeful to see patients and workers getting organized and united to demand more from our corporate hospital systems in Colorado," said the Center for Health Progress. "Instead of abandoning us in an endless pursuit of profit, hospitals should be publicly resisting the authoritarian forces that threaten our well-being. Center for Health Progress, a statewide member-led power building organization, joins NNU in calling on HCA and other billionaire health systems to defend our democracy."
"As residents and fellow physicians, we work with nurses each day to ensure every patient feels safe, supported, and well cared for," said Dr. Allison Whitaker, psychiatry, co-president of the Housestaff Association of the University of Colorado Hospitals. "We stand with all the nurses advocating for themselves so they can serve patients with the excellence and rigor we all aim to deliver. Organizing health care workers across Colorado is an important step in putting patients over profits, and we are proud to be in solidarity with the hardworking nurses here today."
"Colorado has some of the best election laws in the country that make it convenient and secure for voters to make their voice heard," said the Colorado AFL-CIO. "We're committed to ensuring our members, and every eligible voter in Colorado, has the freedom to exercise their right to vote in this election without intimidation."
"As resident physicians, we see firsthand the devastating consequences for our patients when billionaires and their political allies prioritize profits over people's health," said Dr. Olivia Ladd-Luthringshauser, a pediatric resident physician in Washington, D.C., and a regional vice president of Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR)-SEIU. "With health care under attack once again in the upcoming elections, hospital executives have a responsibility to stand with us and the communities we serve to defend our democracy and right to vote."
Photos and videos of the nationwide protests can be found here.
Amidst escalating power grabs by the Trump administration and well-documented concerns about election interference, NNU nurses promised vigilance and action should there be any election interference, including: interference with ballot boxes, refusal to count ballots in some geographic areas, purging of voters rolls, deployment of federal agents to early voting locations or polling places to intimidate voters, and refusal to seat a newly elected, democratically chosen Congress in January.
National Nurses United and its affiliated California Nurses Association were lead plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the federal government and its "Unlawful Voter Initiative." Last week, a federal court ordered a preliminary injunction that stops the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from conducting its voter intimidation tactics in nine states, including using armed agents to go door to door to question people's eligibility to vote and stops elections-related field operations targeting people that it knows, suspects, or should reasonably know or suspect are U.S. citizens.
National Nurses United is the largest and fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in the United States with more than 225,000 members nationwide. NNU affiliates include California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, DC Nurses Association, Michigan Nurses Association, Minnesota Nurses Association, and New York State Nurses Association.

LOS ANGELES, California, Oct. 27 -- The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) issued the following news release:
* * *
SAG-AFTRA Board Meets in Scheduled Plenary
October 26, 2026
Union Reports on Coming Enhancements to the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan for Senior Performers; SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin Responds to Member Concerns in Address to National Board.
-
The SAG-AFTRA National Board met this weekend in its regularly scheduled two-day, in-person plenary to review union business.
SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & CEO Duncan Crabtree-Irelandupdated the Board on enhancements to the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan for senior performers. Planned improvements include an increase to the HRA allocation for senior performers from $1,140 to $1,500 annually for those with 20 or more retiree health credits and from $240 to $312 for those with fewer than 20 retiree health credits. The HRA allocation changes will impact more than 10,000 individuals. Additionally, about 600 qualified retirees will be eligible for a new premium-only HRA Plan (PRA Plan). They will be able to submit their Medicare, Medigap and Medicare Advantage premiums to the new PRA Plan for reimbursement of up to $4,000 in qualified premium costs. Details will be sent to affected participants in the next several weeks.
Crabtree-Ireland also reported that checks and notifications from the Success Bonus Distribution Fund for successful High Budget SVOD productions released in 2024 are anticipated to go out in the same timeframe. Over $1.5 million is expected to be paid out to over 700 performers.
In other action, the Board adopted a comprehensive resolution affirming that employers may not require covered performers and media professionals to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) as a condition of employment unless the terms have been bargained with and approved by the union.
Under federal labor law, mandatory confidentiality agreements constitute terms and conditions of employment that must be bargained in good faith with the collective bargaining representative. Despite this requirement, SAG-AFTRA performers have increasingly been presented with unilateral, overly broad NDAs that chill legal rights and suppress transparency.
As affirmed by the newly adopted policy, any NDA required as a condition of employment must either use SAG-AFTRA's newly approved standard form NDA or be bargained with and approved by the union. Existing pre-bargained confidentiality language (such as in the Commercials Contracts) remains unaffected and approved for use.
SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin kicked off the meeting with a heartfelt address responding to member concerns about the direction of the industry, union priorities and the economic pressure members across the country are experiencing.
"There are things working people can accomplish together that they simply cannot accomplish alone. That belief is why I wanted to speak with you directly," said Astin. "Today, the notion of middle-class life is becoming harder and harder to see. There's downward pressure on everyone and fewer opportunities all around. But what we can do, what your union can do and is doing, is to use every bit of leverage we have to make sure working performers have a place in whatever this industry becomes."
Watch the full video of Astin's remarks HERE (http://youtube.com/watch?v=A-xSCsOW4lo&feature=youtu.be).
The Board also received various operations reports, including:
President's Report
In light of the remarks he had delivered earlier in the meeting, President Astin delivered an abbreviated report, touching on rising healthcare costs and noting that the challenges our members are experiencing represent a microcosm of the country at large. He also spoke about the importance of staying connected with other organizations within the industry and actively participating in ongoing dialogue.
National Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer Report
Crabtree-Ireland's report focused mainly on artificial intelligence and legislative matters. Referencing a recent meeting of the International Federation of Actors, he discussed the value of sharing information on AI developments and policy with fellow performer unions around the world.
Crabtree-Ireland also spoke about the critical importance of supporting the Motion Picture, Television and Entertainment Revitalization Act, a federal film and TV production incentive, in order to help bring production back to the United States. He noted that, if passed, this legislation will benefit all 50 states and generate hundreds of billions of dollars in production spending and economic activity.
Crabtree-Ireland also provided updates on various administrative and operational activities throughout the union.
Legal Report
Chief Legal Officer Jeffrey Bennett reported on a number of legal matters and provided an update on current lawsuits impacting artificial intelligence policy. He noted a recent California case highlighting the importance of California Labor Code 927 and its prohibition on overbroad digital replica licenses.
Finance Report
Chief Financial Officer & Chief Operating Officer Arianna Ozzanto presented results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. Financials are continuing to track according to plan with results stronger than anticipated.
Governance Report
Chief Governance & Equity and Inclusion Officer Michelle Bennett provided updates on various administrative and governance matters.
The meeting adjourned at 1:44 p.m. PDT
