WGA Remains Resolute in Fight for Fair Contract One Month Into Strike

The WGA strike has reached its one-month anniversary as writers picket studios for higher pay and protections against technology like AI.
Politicians, unions, and celebrities have voiced their support for writers in their fight against major studios and streamers.
The strike could have major economic consequences, costing the industry millions per day, and lead to delayed or shortened seasons of hit shows.
Panelists at ATX Festival detailed the issues driving writers to strike, especially lack of transparency and care for the wellbeing of creators.
While disruptive, the strike aims to establish protections and power for writers in an age of big tech and media consolidation.
