The UAW and the Writers Guild have achieved significant contract victories through unions where members directly elect their leaders. This right is not available to most US union members. The Writers Guild of America East members at MSNBC have ratified their first collective bargaining agreement. Union democracy, specifically the direct election of leadership, has been linked to increased union militancy. SAG-AFTRA has also ratified an agreement with studios, prompting New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to fast-track production approvals.
