Warner Bros Discovery, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount, others determined to “break the WGA.” Studios and producers believe by October writers will be running out of money after five months and no work, “a cruel but necessary evil.”

Work for everyone but the biggest corporations. Write for the smaller studios while the big ones starve. When small studios are making record profits while Paramount runs out of material, they’ll be more eager to negotiate.

Maybe that specific plan won’t work, but the WGA will think of something. They’re not stupid.

Good idea. Maybe the writers could also take a stab at forming their own studio? And in the meantime, I guess they could get day jobs. The studios are going to be losing plenty of money here too, this strategy could easily backfire for them.
