Writers Union Wins Historic Concessions - An Example-Setting Strike for the Labor Movement

from On Strike! · host On Strike!

11,500 writers organized with WGA have won historic concessions in their five-month, all-out strike against the wealthy executives of the multi-billion-dollar film & TV industry. Hear analysis from On Strike about how the WGA victory was won — and what fights lay ahead — featuring interviews with WGA & SAG-AFTRA members. 150k actors with SAG-AFTRA are still on strike. The solidarity of actors and writers has been crucial in bringing the Hollywood bosses to their knees and shutting down their profits, as was the strike’s militancy throughout. This is an example-setting strike for the whole labor movement! On Strike is a production of Workers Strike Back, hosted by socialist councilmember Kshama Sawant and Bia Lacombe — news and analysis to beat the bosses. #WGA #WGAstrike #SAG-AFTRA #KshamaSawant #WorkersStrikeBack #union
