More than 100 days into their strike, WGA is reportedly striving to get its members back to work soon. The guild told members it intends to resume negotiations with major studios and streaming services Friday.
The WGA began its strike on May 2, forcing many productions, including late-night talk shows and awards presentations, to cease operations. Another strike, led by SAG-AFTRA, which represents actors, began on July 14, further exasperating Hollywood execs. Writers and actors subsequently formed picket lines side by side. It’s the first time both writers and actors have stopped work at the same time since 1960.
President Joe Biden has supported both groups’ right to strike. “Nights like these are a reminder of the power of stories, and the importance of treating storytellers with dignity, respect and the value they deserve,” he said in May at a screening of the TV series. “I sincerely hope the writers strike in Hollywood gets resolved, and the writers are given a fair deal that they deserve as soon as possible.
