Thousands of striking writers and actors staged a solidarity march through Hollywood Wednesday, culminating in a boisterous rally outside Paramount studios as the dual labor stoppages continue to halt movie and TV production.
The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since early May. The SAG-AFTRA actors' union joined the writers on the picket lines in July. There have been some negotiations between the WGA and Hollywood studios in recent weeks, but still no indication a resolution is at hand. There has not been any word of talks between the studios and SAG-AFTRA.
"... This is a collaborative art form, but we're losing the essence of the art form," she said."And it's because of these top-tier, highly greedy, self-absorbed executives that frankly are ruining it for everybody but themselves. So what we need to do actually is change the culture. That's what this strike is all about. Ever since we went on strike, strikes are happening all over the world. ...
"The AMPTP purports to represent all of these disparate corporate interests, but in practice administers a system that favors inflexibility over compromise, and sacrifices the interests of individual companies in reaching a deal. That regression to the hardest line has produced the first simultaneous strikes since 1960," negotiators wrote, referring to the companion strike by SAG-AFTRA.
WGA negotiators have acknowledged there has been movement by the studios on their position regarding protections against the use of artificial intelligence,"but we are not yet where we need to be. As one example, they continue to refuse to regulate the use of our work to train AI to write new content for a motion picture."
