Abstract

SAG-AFTRA joined WGA in the first joint walkout against thestudiossince1960. gl "I don't want to sugarcoat it, so I'll just state it plain: Black and Brown writers are screwed, and it's going to be harder than ever before to break in.33 - TRACY OLIVER On its official strike hub site, the WGA asserted that "studios have taken advantage of the transition to streaming to underpay entertainment-industry workers, including writers in every area of work." The Writers Guild of America (WGA) clashed with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) over contract standards, royalties, AI use and new, constrained standards in the writing room that have become normalized in the wake of the streaming boom.
