Cartoon: Writers Guild is back in business

Shiyo Ohashi, Scot Scoop Cartoons Editor • October 5, 2023

The Writer’s Guild of America had been striking for better pay, safeguards against the use of AI, and increased streaming residuals for 148 days. On Tuesday, Sept. 27, they received some of those terms from the studios. The contract proposed would pay them around $233 million per year, and writers would not be forced to use AI. The contract is a win for the writers, but most people behind-the-scenes of Hollywood are not so lucky. Actors, makeup artists, directors, lighting technicians, and other workers remain on strike, with no talk of negotiations with the studios yet. (Shiyo Ohashi)
