Spike Lee was not on the speakers list at a rally Thursday morning for striking film and television writers outside City Hall in New York. But one of the Brooklyn-born filmmaker’s best-loved movies, 1989’s , kept cropping up as local elected officials took turns calling for studio executives to resume negotiations with the Writers Guild of America and help end a strike now in its eighth week.
“Eight weeks is too long — It’s time for a fair contract,” said Carmen De La Rosa, one of 12 elected members of New York’s 51-seat City Council who spoke at a demonstration in downtown Manhattan organized by the East. De La Rosa on Thursday introduced a formal resolution that her colleagues will vote on calling for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to resume “good faith” negotiations with the WGA and settle their differences equitably.WGA Strike At Day 50: Writers Remain Resolved Amid Hardship, Keep Spirits Up Amid Physical & Mental Picket Line Fatigue
With more than 100 demonstrators looking on from inside City Hall Park, De La Rosa reeled off the core demands of the guild’s 11,500 striking members: more pay in the form of residuals for streaming television programming, limits on the use of artificial intelligence to generate content and a return to the traditional writers rooms that produce scripts while apprenticing younger hires.
The head of the City Council, Adrienne Adams, said that while the studios reap billions in profits, “it’s not uncommon to hear about writers taking second and third jobs to sustain themselves between seasons of writing for a hit show.”
