Writing & the WGA Strike

WGA SAG-AFTRA Strike 2023Here’s this month’s update for Chica & the Man while we’re on hiatus. I’d like to direct you towards our February 2023 episode about Writing and encourage you to give it a listen. In that episode, we discuss various aspects of writing. We address AI, which is one of the WGA Strike negotiations topics.

I’m an actor with SAG-AFTRA and we are currently on strike, along with the Writers Guild. So, in this month’s update, I’d like to express my admiration for the Writer’s Guild and their strength.

SAG-AFTRA is now on strike, and many of the Hollywood unions have reached unparalleled levels of unity. In this video, Negotiating Committee Co-Chair Chris Keyser discusses what this means and how we should proceed.

The Writers Guild of America negotiation includes several important components: episodic television, streaming channels, artificial intelligence, pension benefits and health. See the link to learn more about the WGA negotiations.
