While WWDC is a chance for many to see what kind of new technology Apple will release in the coming year, it’s also a good opportunity for those seeking fairer treatment to make their voices heard.
The WGA, or Writers Guild of America, has been on strike for the past few months, seeking fairer treatment during the industry’s current streaming phenomenon.
Not in the show…
The writers are (understandably) not happy with the work of studios on streaming platforms. Series now have fewer episodes than ever and much lower residuals than ever before, leaving writers much worse off than before. Apple TV Plus is no stranger to the problem, as several of its shows are affected by the strikes as they continue.
The Writers Guild doesn’t come to the show itself, but rather picks up Apple Stores, including the Visitor Center in Apple Park. Members will hand out pamphlets to customers and members of the public – the guild calls this the “Apple Day of Action.”
Another key point the writers are talking about is the use of AI in the production of TV shows and movies – and a small contract extension from the weekend shows that the writers can succeed here, as there was some progress in the anti directors guild. AI clause.
The strike continues as other guilds have taken the fight to industry. The aforementioned Directors Guild and the Screen Actors Guild are also in talks with various studios, leaving little room for talks with the WGA. At the moment, the WGA strike seems to be continuing.
So while the strike won’t affect the unveiling of the Apple VR headset or new versions of Apple’s operating systems, it will certainly put a damper on Apple’s day.
