Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Hollywood writers, backed by 97% of their guild, are demanding better health coverage, higher streaming residuals, and stricter AI protections in their upcoming contract talks with studios. As productions shift overseas and shooting days dwindle, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is pushing for fair contracts. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA is advocating for a Tilly tax on AI actors, as fears of job losses to digital characters grow. The WGAs negotiations begin March 16th, with their own staff union striking for higher pay and AI safeguards.
