On July 13, SAG-AFTRA helped make history as the guild officially voted to strike, joining the WGA on the picket lines as they fight for better and fair compensation and working conditions. Following both strikes, the film and television industry saw swift halts to several projects. While film and television are primarily affected, author Melissa de la Cruz talked a bit about how the strikes reach even further.
During the panel, Cruz emphasized the importance of people in any creative arts field receiving fair compensation for their work. She expressed her support for the ongoing strikes, adding that "it is just so frightening how people are devaluing what people do, what workers do. And it is really scary." Moreover, Cruz noted that strikes aren't just fighting for fair and better treatment for current creatives in the industry but will also affect the generations that follow.
While Cruz is best-known for her work as an author, she was also a journalist before pursuing her current career, and the strikes especially hit home for her. She touches on the decline of print media and how she saw "what happened to print, get decimated. And no journalists anymore, no magazines. I mean, magazine editors are amazing creatures, who create these, like, wonderful kind of fantasies that were so fun to have and those are gone.
