The nationwide writers’ strike was brought to the White House

According to the film reporter of Fars News Agency, quoted by CNNBiden called for a “fair deal” for writers as the strike continues.

Joe Biden on Monday called on major studios to make a “fair deal” for striking writers who have demanded changes to their contracts.

The president made the comments as the White House honored Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a star-studded screening of “Chinese Born in America,” set to premiere later this month.

“Nights like this are a reminder of the power of stories and the importance of treating storytellers with the dignity, respect and worth they deserve,” Biden said. I hope that the writers’ strike in Hollywood will be resolved and the writers will be given the fair contract they deserve as soon as possible.”

More than 11,000 members of the Writers Guild of America went on strike on May 2 for the first time since 2007, demanding better pay and other concessions from studios and broadcasters amid a changing media landscape.

The authors say that the industry’s focus on cyberspace and the Internet has made it impossible for even successful and award-winning writers to make a living in a business with fewer job opportunities and lower wages.

The Motion Picture and Television Producers Guild, which represents management at major studios such as Disney, NBC Universal and CNN parent Warner Bros. Discovery, said it was willing to improve its offer but was reluctant to meet some of the union’s demands.
