The Writers Guild of America Votes to Authorize a Strike

Members of SAG-AFTRA voted 98% in favor of a strike if there isn't a new deal with studios. This comes as writers are already striking, threatening to further slow down the pipeline of new shows and movies. The Writers Guild of America has now been on strike for a month,. If ratified, the agreement with the Directors Guild of America will raise pay., give better residual payments for global streaming, and make clear that AI cannot replace the work done by directors.
