flag WGA West staff strike over union-busting claims, contract disputes, and AI/streaming issues ahead of key talks.

flag The Writers Guild of America West staff union has launched a strike weeks before critical contract talks with Hollywood studios, accusing leadership of surveillance, firing union supporters, and bad-faith bargaining. flag The strike, involving over 100 support staff, follows 19 negotiation sessions and an NLRB unfair labor practice charge over a terminated union organizer. flag The guild denies the allegations, stating it has offered comprehensive proposals and will continue preparing for upcoming AMPTP talks. flag The walkout has closed the WGA West headquarters and canceled events, raising concerns about internal divisions weakening the union’s bargaining power ahead of major negotiations on streaming residuals and AI protections.
