The SWA members protesting in Bandra on Wednesday
It has been over a month since the Writers Guild of America (WGA) went on strike, following the breakdown of their negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The WGA union criticised the studios for not providing fair employment conditions to writers. On Wednesday, 20 members of the Screenwriters Association (SWA) observed a silent protest outside the Netflix India office in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai to express support for its US counterpart. The development came as a part of the decision taken by the International Affiliation of Writers Guild (IAWG) to mark World Solidarity Day.
Screenwriter Anjum Rajabali, executive committee member of the SWA, says, “Whenever any guild faces any obstacles, IAWG ensures the rest of us stand by them. This time, it was decided that writers’ guilds across the world, including India, parts of Europe, and Australia will hold a symbolic protest on the same day.”
