Here in New York City, CNN shares offices with its parent company, Warner Brothers Discovery, which is one of the strikers biggest targets. So anyone who comes near the building is going to hear about it. Just walked outside and I can see the strikers right across the street there. Every weekday, rain or shine SAG-AFTRA, which is the main actors union, has been on the picket line with their signs and matching t shirts, making their voices heard.
There's writers who have worked on successful shows and then are having to drive Ubers in the meantime waiting for the next gig.But we're out about 100 days and counting now, so we've surpassed the strike that happened in 2007, 2008 and we are creeping towards hitting a record, which was in 1988. That strike went on for 154 days and the writers now have been on strike for over 100 days and no signs the two sides getting back together to come to an agreement.
