SAG-AFTRA Rallies Striking Actors: 'This Is Your Time
Variety: SAG-AFTRA held a massive march and rally outside the Paramount studio on Wednesday, as the union marked 62 days on strike.
Union leaders argued that the strike has resonated across industries, as workers stand up to “unchecked corporate greed.”
We are at an important turning point. As AI gets better and more traction across industries- businesses are watching this resolution closely. They want to see how much corporations can get away with. Corporate greed will never lessen and unless people are willing to stand up and fight against this machine- creative people especially- will be outmatched. It is a good sign that there is support coming actors/writers way with unemployment benefits. It also heartwarming to hear that some comedians are performing shows to support their writing staff. I hope that they all can sustain this together in order to have a winning resolution.
