Since May 2, there has been a labour dispute, during which authors have protested for fair pay and improved working conditions.

Today marks day 11 of the Writers Guild of America’s strike in support of increased compensation and a stable pay structure. Fairer deals and protection from artificial intelligence are two other needs. Production on multiple films has ceased as the outcome of the strike, which has the backing of notable directors including Christopher Nolan.

Extending their support to the ongoing strike by Writers Guild of America (WGA), India’s Screenwriters Association (SWA) has requested its members to halt their work on US-based films and web series. Members of the WGA went on strike early this week demanding better wages, higher minimum pay, more writers per show, and shorter exclusive contracts among other things.
