'These issues have been festering for some time': CNN media critic Brian Lowry on how the rise of streaming helped propel strikes in Hollywood
Twin strikes by the guilds representing writers and now actors – the first time that’s happened since Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild in 1960 – reflect how the technological shift toward streaming, diluting traditional television, has unsettled business models and the workers that rely on them.
” “This business model has been changed,” SAG chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said at a July 13 press conference, “but the companies just want to keep our members locked in a contract that doesn’t reflect that change.” From their perspective, studios and streamers aren’t wrong when they say the business is undergoing a major shift, prompting Disney CEO Bob Iger to state that the guilds’ contractual demands are not “realistic” in the current climate.
