The WGA has detailed its plans to target Apple to coincide with its Worldwide Developers Conference. As Deadline revealed earlier today, the writers guild is planning action against the tech giant on Monday June 5.
It has now sent members a list of targets where its members will be leafleting (see below). It has also urged the company, which runs the Apple TV+ service, to settle, saying that it has “one of the most limited streaming libraries” . “The service offered less than 200 hours of new WGA-covered scripted comedy and drama content last season, and Apple TV+ is alone among streamers in having virtually no library of licensed programs,” the WGA wrote in a leaflet that will be handed out tomorrow. “Let’s send a message that Apple TV+ is nothing without writers and urge Apple to come back to the table and help end this strike,” the union added.
It also highlighted the fact that a number of its high-profile series have already been hit including Maya Rudolph’s Loot, Severance and Sinking Spring. “For Apple, the cost of our proposals is just $17 million per year.
For comparison, Apple reported almost $400 billion in revenue last year. It’s time for Apple to get back to the table and help get writers a fair deal,” the WGA added.
