While Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, the Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) organized outside the company's visitor center to protest unfair wages and job security.
held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, the Writers Guild of America West organized outside the company's visitor center to protest unfair wages and job security.
Members from the Alphabet Workers Union, California Nurses Association and Teamsters Local 2010 rallied alongside the WGAW members in a show of solidarity for the labor movement that publicly exploded last month. Liz Hsiao Lan Alper, a board member for WGAW and a writer for "Day of the Dead" and "Chicago Fire," flew in from Los Angeles to speak at the protest. The layoffs are part of job cuts across Disney, including film and television, streaming services, and theme parks.
She also spoke about growing concerns of artificial intelligence being used by the film and television industry to replace writers and streamline efficiency during the filmmaking process, rather than put more money and energy into supporting writers' creative work.
