The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is expected to formally throw its support behind the Writers Guild of America, as the strike by more than 11,500 WGA members against Hollywood studios continues.
Members of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, the union announced.The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is expected to formally throw its support behind the Writers Guild of America on Tuesdday, as the strike by more than 11,500 WGA members against Hollywood studios continues.
Contract negotiations between WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have been stalled, with the studios focusing on talks with the Directors Guild of America -- with which it reached a tentative labor agreement over the weekend. Meanwhile, according to the motion, "studios have collected almost $30 billion in profits between 2017 and 2021." The motion suggests that such profits might not be sustainable unless the producers treat the writers fairly.
If the motion is approved Tuesday, the board would send a letter signed by all five board members to producers expressing their support of the WGA and urging the AMPTP to return to the bargaining table.The AMPTP is scheduled on Wednesday to begin contract talks with SAG- AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood actors.
