WGA marked 100 days on strike on Aug. 9 with well-attended picket lines in both New York and Los Angeles. The crowd was larger than usual outside Netflix in Los Angeles, where strikers had set up a balloon sign spelling out “100” to mark the occasion.
“At 100 days, there’s no dip in commitment. There’s no dip in enthusiasm for doing what’s right,” said Nicole Yorkin, a member of the WGA negotiating committee. “I am so proud of our members.
Whatever happens, we’re going to be here until we get what we want.”There was also a sizable crowd at Paramount, down the street. Shawn Wines, a strike captain, said the day was an opportunity to show appreciation for the unity of the membership. “Nobody wants to celebrate that it’s been this long,” Wines said.
“We want to appreciate each other, and the community that’s happening out here and the collective fight that we’re in.”“What is going on here is just a microcosm of what is going on in the country as a whole,” added Marcelina Chavira, a TV writer and lot coordinator at Paramount. “The people at the top want less people to do more work for less money.” The picket line outside Amazon Studios in Culver City is one of L.A.‘s quieter locations — WGA strike captain K.C. Scott describes it as a “walk and chat” scenario — missing the more boisterous megaphone-led chants of Netflix or Paramount.
