The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is planning to picket Warner Bros. Discovery president and CEO David Zaslav’s commencement speech at Boston University on May 21.
Zaslav, who is set to deliver the university’s 150th commencement address later this month, will also receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree during the ceremony.
“Extremely disappointed in this move,” another Instagram user wrote. “Hundreds of your alumni have been thrown into financial and career instability because of Zaslov. We’re here, in the picketing lines, in the rain, begging for the right and dignity to get paid to do our job.”
