Candidate for Council, Broadcast/Cable/Streaming News Sector
Justin Raffael DiLauro is an Emmy nominated, award-winning writer / producer/ creative director and current WGAE Council member. He started his television career in the 90’s at Sports Channel America, then helped launch The Food Network, produced docu-dramas for Spike and TruTV, only to find himself cutting all copy down to seconds when he moved to promos with Cablevision, MSNBC, CNBC, WCBS, BBC America, to name just a few…. and now CBS Network News. In all Justin has worked for over 10 TV networks and all big-three broadcast companies. In addition to TV, Justin sits on the board of a 501c charity theater company in Connecticut where he writes State grants and helps with marketing & production. He earned his BA from Hofstra University where he met his wife. They have three children together and split their time between Astoria NY and Lordship CT. Since 2010, Justin has been an active member of the WGA East, including the last contract’s bargaining committee where all members united to make serious gains and fought off destructive concessions.
Vote for Justin and you’ll vote for a stronger union, and a stronger pension. Never again should we as a Guild have to beg for a pension increase before wage and basic-respect negotiations even begin. A financially strong pension means a stronger union at the bargaining table. Justin will represent all writers protecting and advancing our rights as working artists.
When the time comes I hope you will vote to re-elect me and two of my fellow council members Beth Godvik and Gail Lee who are both outstanding council members and all around good people. Our union is lucky to have them.
