Updates and Progress in the second longest Writer's Strike in History

Update on the Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes: negotiations have resumed between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), with the AMPTP developing and presenting a counterproposal to the WGA leadership. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA's chief negotiator has called for leaders of Hollywood’s major studios and streamers to step in to bring the sides to a new deal. The financial toll of the strikes in the Los Angeles area alone is estimated to have surpassed $3 billion. SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America West are among more than 20 labor organizations lobbying for the passage of a bill pending in the California legislature that would make striking workers eligible for unemployment benefits. As negotiations continue, fans of Hollywood movies and TV shows are left wondering when their favorite shows will return.
