Hollywood is on strike, and the writers of some of your favorite shows want you to care.
The current standoff has the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Screen Actors Guild against the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The strike has lasted nearly eight weeks, which has caused the production of shows and movies to shut down. But, after close to two months of striking, does anyone really care about it?Most polls show the majority of people support the strikes and have an unfavorable view of the movie studios and producers.
“They’re still not seeing that the culture needs to change, that they need to change. This conversation is bigger than our contract,” Drescher said. “It’s about caring. It’s about being empathic. It’s about making money, but not at the expense. Don’t step on me, climb on my shoulders, beat me down just so that you can make an extra shekel. Sorry, but that is no longer acceptable.”
“The only standstill is that I think that they’re not wanting to come to the table because they’re hoping that they can hold out longer than we can hold out,” Drescher said of the studios. “But that is not in the spirit of negotiation.”
