The Barbie and Oppenheimer movies brought in a combined $235.5 million this past weekend. The workers who make movies like these deserve their fair share!
But TV and movie studio executives are trying to use technology as an excuse to bust unions and leave workers behind.
The same executives who say they can’t afford to pay writers and actors more are paying themselves tons. In 2022 alone, the two CEOs of Netflix were paid over $50 million each. The Warner Bros. CEO was paid $39 million. The CEOs of Comcast and Paramount were both paid $32 million, and Disney’s CEO was paid $24 million.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee and I are proud to stand with the writers and actors currently on strike.
Can you join us and sign on here to show your support of workers today?
We will keep the media apprised of public support for this and I will share your support with writers and actors next time I join them on the picket line.
This isn’t just about Hollywood or getting our favorite TV shows back. Across industries, CEOs and those at the very top are seeing skyrocketing, record profits.
We need strong unions to stand against corporate greed in every industry. As a consumer protection attorney, I’ve seen how healthy unions benefit consumers -- they often push for things that keep all of us safer, like better safety guidelines on airplanes or in hospitals.
These strikes are fundamentally about standing up to corporate power. I hope you’ll sign on in support.
Onward!
