Representatives of the WGA and the major studios met Friday afternoon for the first time in three months, but there were no signs of a breakthrough in the months-long labor standoff that has upended Hollywood. AMPTP writersstrike
A new L.A. Times poll on Hollywood’s double strike finds the public is more likely to support striking actors and writers than studios and streaming services. But many express ambivalence.
Writers went on strike May 2. They are seeking a larger share of residuals from streaming platforms and regulations over the use of artificial intelligence, among other issues. “I didn’t picket for over three months just for incremental change,” said showrunner Marc Guggenheim, who was picketing outside the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank on Friday. “We voted for a strike because we’re hoping for systemic change and I think writers are willing to stay out on the picket line as long as it takes to get that systemic change.”
