Their proposal mentioned working time and more writers per episode as well as preserving the “writer’s room”. However, after many days they did not reach a new contract, resulting in an expired deal.
The union represents 11,500 writers of film, television, and other entertainment forms. Some writers will gather through the week outside Peacock and Netflix offices in New York. Others will gather outside TV stations, Warner Bros, and Universal Studios across California.
“We have reached this moment today not of our own choosing but because the companies’ assault on writer income and working conditions have pushed us to an existential brink,” said Chris Keyser, WGA negotiating committee co-chair.
