Strike Details

Some of the main issues of the WGA writers strike consists of a few  issues. Number one, with the prominence of streaming services in this day and age, there has been a change to the model in which writers get paid for writing scripts for its content. With streaming services often not being transparent about streaming numbers. For example, writers are left in the dark, especially when it comes negotiating for higher residuals. Another big issue is the increasing prevalence of AI-produced scripts, and how that addition to the industry might affect writer wages.  Two additional main issues are with the size of writers’ room on TV shows and the length of time in which they can be employed for any one project. 

The strike has taken an economic toll on Hollywood and is beginning to prove concerning, especially for small business owners who do everything from catering on film sets, florists, prop people, equipment rentals and costumers. According to  the WGA (via the National Review) the strike could be costing the local economy $30 million a day. 

On Friday, July 14 the SAG-AFTRA actors strike went into effect after the union’s own negotiations with movie studios did not meet their expectations. With actors now on the picket line also, even more productions have been halted, which in solidarity with writers may put more pressure on the industry to meet demands. With the SAG-AFTRA strike in affect, they cannot promote their upcoming movies and series, one example being the Blue Beetle movie, which was promoted on this site.   We did screen the movie and do not believe there was a premier. Also, this could mean more television shows and movies will be delayed.

After months of striking, those impacted have taken to news outlets, social media, and the picket lines to express their financial concerns during these times.  This is why Our Story Is has created an entertainment relief fund.  No donation is too small.
