A strike by thousands of American television and film screenwriters looms Monday in Hollywood. Major studios and platforms, including Disney and Netflix, are in talks with the powerful writers' union.
Writers are demanding higher pay and a greater share of streaming profits, while studios say they have to cut costs. The last major social movement in Hollywood dates back to the writers' strike that paralyzed the American audiovisual sector in 2007-2008.. A 100-day dispute that had cost the sector two billion dollars.
