I recently had the chance to join SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild union members in front of Paramount Pictures HQ. I again heard from workers about their simple demands: fair pay to account for the rise in living expenses, assurances against being replaced by AI, and a restructuring of how writers and performers benefit from streaming revenue.
The same executives who say they can’t afford to pay workers 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. It’s unacceptable that at the same time, many performers aren’t earning livable wages.
| Donate $10 immediately | Donate $25 immediately |
| Donate $50 immediately | Donate $100 immediately |
| Donate $250 immediately | Donate $500 immediately |
Or, donate another amount.
As a consumer protection attorney, I’ve seen how healthy unions benefit consumers. They don't just fight for better wages. Unions often push for things that keep all of us safer, like better safety guidelines on airplanes or in hospitals. We need strong unions to stand against corporate greed in every industry.
John, I’m grateful to have you in this fight! When folks side with workers, we show executives across industries that consumers won’t put up with corporate greed.
