, has drawn criticism and scrutiny around his pay package following his recent comments on the Hollywood writers and actors strike.
In an interview last week with CNBC at the Sun Valley Conference in Idaho, commonly referred to as the Iger called the strike disruptive,"very disturbing," and said that the strikers' expectations are"not realistic." "I respect their right and their desire to get as much as they possibly can in compensation for their people," Iger said of the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, the actors' union."But you also have to be realistic about the business environment and what this business can deliver. It is and has been a great business for all of these people and it will continue to be even through disruptive times. But, being realistic is imperative here.
Iger's comments quickly drew criticism from those involved in the strike, some of whom took the opportunity to point to his pay package from Disney worth tens of millions. In a picket line interview in Los Angeles on July 14,"Guardians of the Galaxy" actor Sean Gunn pointed out the pay disparity between Bob Iger and Disney's average employee, calling it"a fucking shame."
