Directors Domino Falls Heightening the Hollywood Writers Strike Stalemate (ep.280)

As the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike enters its 30th day, Hollywood's labor leaders have issued a joint statement of solidarity with the Directors Guild of America (DGA) as its contract talks enter the final week. However, the WGA has warned that an agreement between the studios and the DGA will not end their strike. The WGA has emphasized that solidarity between the entertainment unions will stand against any potential "divide and conquer" tactics. <br />The WGA has also noted that the DGA's 2008 deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers served as the pattern for the WGA's previous deal. Ultimately, the companies will need to negotiate with the WGA on its full agenda to resolve the strike. As Hollywood's labor leaders express solidarity with DGA, it remains unclear how this will impact the ongoing WGA strike and whether a resolution can be reached in the near future.<br />WGA Says Not to Expect DGA Deal to End Strike<br />https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/wga-dga-strike-pattern-bargaining-1235630932/<br />Writers’ Shut-It-Down Strategy Has Been Effective, Executives Privately Concede https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/writers-shut-down-strategy-effective-153022977.html<br />On-Location Filming Of Scripted TV Shows Grinds To Near-Complete Halt In L.A.
