Good morning.
Last week, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) announced a nationwide strike after weeks of negotiations broke down between the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents over 350 film and television companies. An overwhelming majority of union members – 98% – voted in favour of the strike. 11,500 writers across the US put down their pens, bringing production to a screeching halt. Hundreds of writers picked up placards and joined picket lines outside major studios.
