Intermittent rain and quite a bit of wind did not appear to deter striking writers from again hitting picket lines throughout Los Angeles on Thursday, many of them galvanized by the previous night’s solidarity rally that drew over 1,800 Writers Guild of America members.
During that Shrine Auditorium gathering, the first of its kind since the strike was called on Monday, guild leadership spoke at length about the issues where the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers remained furthest apart.
“To hear leadership really talk about what it was like to be in the [negotiating] room and to hear the words from them was just mind blowing,” Susan Hurwitz said to The Hollywood Reporter on the Thursday picket line at Sony Pictures Studios. A writer-producer whose credits include The Tick and Preacher, Hurwitz also addressed the other unions — the DGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE — that have voiced their support of the writers.
