In a call for continued solidarity as the Writers Guild’s strike enters its second month, WGA negotiating committee co-chair Chris Keyser says in a video that the guild’s fight for a fair contract is one that’s being fought for the entire labor movement
says in a new video that the guild’s fight for a fair contract is not one that’s being fought for writers alone, but for the entire labor movement.NY Legislators Hint Future Of Tax Incentives May Depend On Fair Deal To End Strike, Call On AMPTP To Return To Bargaining Table With WGA
Keyser, a former president of the WGA West, says that the strike, which began May 2, has been “highly accomplished in inflicting pain on the companies,” and vowed that the WGA will continue with the strike even if the Directors Guild and SAG-AFTRA reach their own separate deals with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.and SAG-AFTRA, which is currently seeking strike authorization from its members, is scheduled to begin negotiations with the AMPTP on June 7.
“We wish the DGA the best in their negotiations,” he continued. “That goes for SAG-AFTRA as well. We are infinitely grateful to all of their members who have marched with us every day. And we are rooting hard for them to exercise their power and achieve the contracts they deserve. They are hurting, just like we are. They are at risk, just like we are. SAG-AFTRA’s strike authorization vote should send shivers down the companies’ spine.
Insisting that the guild is not simply waiting for the AMPTP to decide when to restart negotiations, Keyser said: “We are negotiating now. Every day, we are negotiating. We are making the only argument the companies can hear: the argument of power. We are withholding our work; disrupting productions; talking to Wall Street, city hall, Sacramento and Washington, DC. We are bringing allies to our cause. This is the work. This is the leverage. It is the same in any strike, and it will take time.
