Hollywood screenwriters are on strike over pay

The last WGA strike lasted 100 days and cost the California economy an estimated $2.1 billion.

On Tuesday, May 2, the Writers Guild of America, uniting nearly 11,500 screenwriters, went on strike after unsuccessful negotiations to improve working conditions. This was reported by Reuters.

In particular, they negotiated for six weeks with the Motion Picture and Television Producers Alliance, which includes companies such as Amazon, Apple, CBS, Disney, NBC Universal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony and Warner Bros. discovery

Writers are looking for a pay rise. In recent years, amid the rapid development of streaming platforms, the average salary has decreased by four percent.

Artificial intelligence is another issue on the negotiating table. The WGA wants studios to stop using AI to create new scripts. They also want to not be asked to rewrite AI-generated script drafts.

So, until the conflict is resolved, the strike could lead to an immediate halt in the production of many TV shows and possibly delay the start of new ones.

Here’s what all writers know: Companies have ruined this business. They took so much from the same people, the writers, who made them rich. But what they can’t take from us is each other, our unity, our common desire to save ourselves and this profession we love. We hope to do this through reasonable dialogue. Now we will overcome the wrestling. For the sake of our present and future, we have no other choice,” the WGA said in a statement.

It was previously reported that stars dedicated to endangered animals in Ukraine were placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
