Writers Guild of America (WGA) have been on strike in Hollywood since May 2, 2023, 12:01 a.m. PDT. In the four months that have passed, several rounds of the WGA representatives’ talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have failed. Now, the WGA has urged the AMPTP to go soft on its stance, if it wants the strike to end. The WGA urged members on September 8 to “stay strong”, while suggesting that studios that want a “fair deal” with their writers will have to agree to the deal or break away from the “broken AMPTP model”.

At that point, a resolution to the strike will be in reach,” it added in the statement.
