The first dual SAG & WGA strike of the 21st century has effectively shut down Hollywood, a simultaneous union effort that hasn't occurred since 1960.
The 2023 SAG & WGA dual strike marks the first time that the two Hollywood unions have protested simultaneously in over six decades. The Writers Guild of America is being joined in protest against major Hollywood studios such as Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. as well as tech streaming giants Netflix, Apple, and Amazon.
Similarly, the current 2023 dual SAG and WGA strike shares a mutual concern regarding a major Hollywood shift in technology and output, with the previous concerns in 1960 about television essentially translating to the imminent fear of pervasive streaming services and AI technology.
