WGA Protests Apple at Worldwide Developers Conference.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) targeted Apple by leafleting outside its HQ and stores in LA, New York, and Washington, DC, to protest against the company's treatment of writers. The WGA's proposals would cost Apple around $17m a year, which is a "drop in the bucket" compared to its annual revenues of around $400bn, according to former WGA West President David Goodman. The WGA's negotiating committee co-chair, Chris Keyser, said the streamers' application of productivity and efficiency standards to creativity has made the life of writers almost untenable. The WGA's actions come after the Directors Guild of America (DGA) reached a deal over the weekend, which the WGA said won't change its negotiating stance.
