Nonfiction entertainment workers who are members of the Writers Guild of America East have ratified a first union agreement with prestige documentary company Story Syndicate.

Story Syndicate employees who belong to the WGA East, roughly 30 in total, many of them producers, unanimously voted to greenlight the deal after it was reached June 6.

Founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife creative duo Liz Garbus and Dan Cogan, Story Syndicate has become a go-to producer of glossy streaming documentaries in recent years, from Netflix’s Icarus and Britney vs Spears to Hulu’s Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence. The company’s latest is Titan: The Oceangate Disaster, which premiered on Netflix on June 11.
