Global Screenwriters Unite for WGA Solidarity Day

The Writers Guild of America's strike against Hollywood's largest producers has gained global support, with events taking place in over 20 countries as part of an International Day of Solidarity. The strike began on May 2 and demands higher wages for TV and film writers, protections around the use of AI in content production, and guaranteed levels of staffing and weeks of employment on TV series. The WGA has enlisted members from the International Affiliation of Writers Guilds, Federation of Screenwriters in Europe, and UNI Global Union to demonstrate global support for the union's strike against Hollywood's largest producers.

Global Screenwriters Unite in Solidarity for WGA Strike and the Future of Writing.

Screenwriters in 35 countries are organizing rallies, social media campaigns, and picketing outside local Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) member offices in support of the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. The "Screenwriters Everywhere: International Day of Solidarity" event is scheduled to take place on June 14 and is organized by the Federation of Screenwriters in Europe (FSE), International Affiliation of Writers Guilds (IAWG), and UNI Global Union (UNI-MEI). The strike has caused fears that writers outside the U.S. could potentially steal jobs from striking WGA members, but many international writers guilds have issued guidelines to their members about steering clear of jobs that would ordinarily go to WGA members.
