The Writers Guild of America is set to hold a strike authorization vote on Tuesday
“The studios need to respond to the crisis writers face,” WGA leadership said in a message to members ahead of the vote. “WGA members must demonstrate our willingness to fight for the contract writers need and deserve by supporting a strike authorization vote.” The two sides have met a few times since negotiations began March 20.
” AMPTP represents Amazon, Apple, CBS, Disney, NBCU, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony, and CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. WGA said its writers are unfairly compensated as streaming popularity — and its share of Hollywood’s revenue — grows. “The business has transitioned to a streaming-first model, with the legacy film and television markets representing a declining share of total revenue,” WGA wrote in the report.
