The writers of MTV’s Ridiculousness are coming closer to being unionized. The show’s writing team, which was behind over 230 episodes last year, has been going through the process to unionize over the last few months, hoping to join their scripted peers, who have been on strike since May, in the WGA.
The writers on the show, which regularly airs for over 100 hours a week on MTV, have now filed their ballots for an election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Deadline understands that a large majority of them have been cast to unionize.
The ballots will be counted by the NLRB on September 11 and once the outcome is revealed, the team will launch a campaign and kick off negotiations between the WGA, Paramount and Superjacket, the production company run by the show’s host Rob Dyrdek.
The writers are seeking better conditions, including improved pay, residuals and a call for MTV to order more shows rather than just rely on the Rob Dyrdek-fronted title.
