“After three days of the joint strike by 76,000 writers and actors in the US, members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), its broader international and social significance is coming powerfully to the fore.
The strike, which involves many well-known artists and many unheralded ones barely getting by, is part of a developing broad-based working class movement. Tens of millions of people around the globe have become aware of this social conflict in the US, which further helps to puncture the myths that American capitalism peddles about itself. It will only encourage workers’ struggles in the US and elsewhere. The actors and writers themselves are attuned in large numbers to events in France, to the possibility of a UPS strike at the end of the month and other social developments.”
