The Impending Writers' Strike and Its Impact on Hollywood Production.
As the Writers Guild of America (WGA) approaches a potential strike, entertainment unions have issued statements of solidarity, but their contracts contain "no-strike" clauses that prevent them from participating in a work stoppage. However, workers individually have a right to engage in "sympathy strikes," which can open them up to consequences such as temporary or permanent replacements on the job. Entertainment unions have advised members on their rights and obligations if faced with a picket line, with some allowing workers to honor lawful picket lines and others warning of potential breach of contract claims or termination.
