The screenwriters and writers of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) continue their protest day that is already a week old.

The journey of the screenwriters and actors who have joined the initiative in Los Angeles and New York has been seen in several cities across the United States.

The move has led to several suspensions, the most recent of which was from filming the fifth season of Stranger Things, and “The Wire” creator David Simon was fired for participating in the protest.

President Joe Biden said he hopes a fair deal is reached in the contract negotiations.

“I sincerely hope that the Hollywood writers’ strike is resolved and that they come to a well-deserved agreement as soon as possible,” he said at a White House screening of a film celebrating the Asian-American community.

Thousands of writers are on indefinite strike after failing to reach an agreement with the Alliance of Film and Television Producers (AMPTP) on a new, fairer contract.

One of WGA’s requests is that the broadcasts of their projects be paid fairly, as well as transparency from the streaming platforms so that it is known how many times their work has been reproduced.

“Imagine being the writer of ‘Stranger Things’ and no matter how many times people have seen your work, you don’t get paid fairly, but they (the studios) do. Even if it was you who created those characters, that’s what worries us the most,” he assured EFE actress and writer Allison Dayne.

Similarly, they don’t want artificial intelligence built in to run the scripts.
