Hundreds of union members and supporters demonstrated outside NBC Tower on Wednesday in support of the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. Among key issues are increased wages and fair pay structures for writers in a streaming era.
Hundreds protested outside the NBC Tower on May 17, 2023, in a show of support for the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.
A dozen speakers took to the microphone Wednesday afternoon, including Ald. Mike Rodriguez and members of the WGA, SAG-AFTRA and the Chicago Federation of Labor. The WGA represents 11,000 TV, film, radio and online writers across the country — including nearly 100 writers in the Chicago area. “What you all have done, I don’t think it’s properly appreciated,” Vazquez said. “… The content you create has saved lives. We were in a pandemic for years where people were stuck — sometimes in very small apartments with people they didn’t like that much — for a long amount of time. And if there was not the content to watch and not the stories to talk about … we would not have been able to survive a lot of what we’ve gone though.
