The Writers Guild of America, which has over 11-thousand members, is entering week its third week of a work stoppage. This is the first strike in 15 years, and comes at a time when the TV and film industry has seen some major changes in recent years. Amongst their demands, writers are seeking higher wages, better residuals, and assurances on the use of AI.
First we hear from Monice Mitchell Simms, TV writer, screenwriter, author, producer and a member of the Writers Guild of America, who has been on the picket lines in Los Angeles.
Then we speak with Alex Press, labor reporter and staff writer at Jacobin Magazine
