“We have been preparing for more than a year to execute our Guild’s highest purpose: to protect your economic and creative rights. We are ready for negotiations and, if necessary, we are prepared for a fight. These negotiations will shape the future of our industry.
“The industry has changed and the pace of that change has accelerated significantly since we concluded our last agreements in March 2020 as each of the major studios have now launched their own streaming platforms and are prioritizing those streaming platforms over everything else. Our industry and the entire country are challenged by inflation, economic headwinds and a possible recession, and the Employers are focused on their bottom lines. This will not be an ordinary negotiation.
“We are proud of our track record of winning and shaping a changing industry to benefit our members more. And that’s what we’re committed to doing in this round of bargaining.
