WGA Members Say 'There’s No Dip in Commitment' as Strike Hits 100 Days
marked 100 days on strike on Aug. 9 with well-attended picket lines in both New York and Los Angeles.
“What is going on here is just a microcosm of what is going on in the country as a whole,” added Marcelina Chavira, a TV writer and lot coordinator at Paramount. “The people at the top want less people to do more work for less money.” A few writers’ picket signs featured some variation of the slogan “100 Days Stronger,” which commemorated their hundredth day marching in back and forth along Washington Blvd. Another writer carried a sign that read “Nice try, Carol,” with the winking face of Kathryn Hahn’s “WandaVision” character, Agatha, in a not-so-veiled reference to the “talks before the talks” meeting AMPTP president Carol Lombardini held with WGA leadership last Friday.
“Everybody here feels undeterred,” Scott said. “Honestly, I’ve been genuinely surprised at how high spirits have been throughout. Not to say it’s not tough walking out here in the sun for 100 days. We’d all rather be working, but everybody knows what the goal is and nobody’s willing to settle for less.“
