Global Solidarity for WGA Strike: Screenwriters Unite Against Automation Threat.

TL;DR Summary
Writers and their allies from almost two dozen countries gathered for demonstrations in support of striking WGA writers. The Screenwriters Everywhere protests took place across the globe, including at Netflix’s office in Seoul, South Korea, Apple and Amazon in Canada, and the European Parliament in Brussels. Demonstrators included some of the UK’s biggest scribes, including Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies, Succession creator Jesse Armstrong, and Black Mirror writer Charlie Brooker. The writers are seeking pay increases and structural changes to the business model, and many are also concerned about the effects of AI across the industry.
