The Impact of Tech Companies on Hollywood Strikes

Hollywood writers and actors are facing off against powerful conglomerates and tech giants in ongoing labor negotiations. The consolidation of the industry and the rise of big tech companies have created an imbalance in bargaining power, leaving workers feeling vulnerable. If politicians had taken a tougher stance on market consolidation and subjected tech companies to reasonable regulation, the situation might be different. Both sides have their own concerns and demands, with the studios claiming a radical faction has made progress impossible, while the actors and writers seek fair compensation and protection in the face of advancing artificial intelligence. The struggle for fair wages and job security extends beyond Hollywood, with workers in other industries also facing similar challenges.
