In this episode, Damian and Max discuss the recent labor activity by SAG-AFTRA, the United Auto Workers (UAW), and the Writers Guild of America (WGA). We talk about what recent wins mean for workers in these industries and what they can teach us about the power of collective bargaining.
The WGA secured a new contract that includes increased pay and residuals, better protections for writers working on streaming services, and a commitment from the streaming services to work with the WGA to develop new policies and procedures that will protect the rights of writers. We talk about what this win means for writers and the future of Hollywood.
We wrap up the episode by summarizing the key points of the discussion and offering our own insights on the future of labor relations in the United States. For more content visit oxinstitute.org
