Hundreds of WGA members headed back to the offices of Walt Disney Co., Netflix Inc, and other studios in New York and Los Angeles, where they marched and voiced demands for higher pay and safeguards around the use of artificial intelligence.
LOS ANGELES, USA – Striking film and television writers are set to meet with union leadership on Wednesday, May 3, the second day of a work stoppage that threw Hollywood into disarray as the industry deals with changes brought on by the streaming TV boom.and other late-night shows aired re-runs on Tuesday, May 4, night after the Writers Guild of America went on strike, leaving them without teams to craft topical jokes based on the day’s news.
Negotiators for the WGA, which represents roughly 11,500 writers, were scheduled to meet with members in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday evening to provide details of the talks and the decision to order a strike. The strike hit Hollywood studios at a challenging time. Conglomerates are under pressure from Wall Street to make their streaming services profitable after pumping billions of dollars into programming to attract subscribers. The last WGA strike in 2007 and 2008 lasted 100 days. The action cost the California economy an estimated $2.1 billion as productions shut down and out-of-work writers, actors and producers cut back spending.
Writers say changes from the streaming TV boom have made it difficult for many to earn a living in expensive cities such as New York and Los Angeles.
