Hollywood studios and the striking Writers Guild of America remain at loggerheads Friday, with no indication the sides are moving any closer to a labor agreement.
remain at loggerheads Friday, with no indication the sides are moving any closer to a labor agreement.
The union remains at an impasse with Hollywood studios over a host of labor issues -- most notably, residuals for streaming content, staffing levels in writing rooms and the use of artificial intelligence. The strike is the first by the WGA in 15 years. "The studios have taken advantage of the transition to streaming to underpay entertainment industry workers, including writers in every area of work," according to the union. "Like too many working people across our economy, as corporate profits grow, writers are just not keeping up."
It also called for "a lot more discussion" on the issue of artificial intelligence, and suggesting that writers "want to be able to use this technology as part of their creative process, without changing how credits are determined." On Thursday, Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish said the company had been preparing for a WGA walkout and believes viewers won't see any major impact "for a while."
He said the studio also has a wealth of "reality and unscripted" content, as well as sports programming.Outside Paramount Studios in Hollywood on Thursday, a striking WGA member acknowledged Bakish's take on the walkout, but noted additional pressure will fall on the studios when labor talks begin in the coming weeks with the Directors Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA actors' unions.
