ABC News Digital Staffers Unionize Under WGA East Amid FCC Threats To Network

Staff members at ABC News digital outlets, including ABCNews.com and social media platforms, have officially unionized under the Writers Guild of America East. A bargaining team of approximately 50 members voted unanimously to establish WGAE as their collective bargaining representative. This move follows existing WGAE representation for on-air correspondents and broadcast employees at the Disney network, expanding the union's footprint within the organization amid reported FCC threats directed toward the network.
