Writers Go On Strike!
from Geek Freaks Headlines Hosted by Geek Freaks
Thousands of Hollywood writers have gone on strike, calling for increased pay and structural changes to the business model in the streaming era. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) argues that the current system has made it increasingly difficult for its members to make a living. The main sticking points between the guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers include union proposals that would require companies to staff television shows with a certain number of writers for a specific period, whether needed or not. This is the first time in more than 15 years that writers have gone on strike. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Challenge Accepted: https://linktr.ee/challengeacceptedgf Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Level Up!: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree From The Pages: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: [email protected] Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: geekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks
