Hollywood writers and strikes are on strike due to various issues:
- Decreasing pay and inadequate compensation compared to rising industry profits.
- The use of streaming services has resulted in fewer guaranteed weeks of work
- Downsizing traditional writers’ rooms in favour of “mini rooms” limits writers’ involvement in productions.
- Concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on their profession, including the creation of new content without compensation and consent and the use of their original work to train AI models.
- Lack of transparency in streaming platforms’ viewership data.
The strike is the largest labour fight in Hollywood in six decades and marks the first dual strike of writers and actors since 1960.
