Hollywood Unites in Toronto to Fight Corporate Greed for SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild
Around 300 Canadian union members rallied outside the Toronto offices of Amazon and Apple in support of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes in the US. The rally, organized by ACTRA, the Canadian actors union, aimed to address corporate greed and an economic system that rewards cost-cutting at the expense of workers. The actors and writers strikes are part of a larger labor movement seeking fair wages and workplace protections. ACTRA's own contract with North American producers is set to expire in 2024, requiring renewal talks. The rally emphasized the need for unity among North American unions and solidarity in the fight for better working conditions.
