Write an article under 400 words about the 2008 Writers Strike and what could happen if it happened again in the near future. Favor the writers and use a tone that you might find in material about or by the IWW.
In 2007, the Writer’s Guild of America exited negotiations with the entertainment industry’s leading companies with grim news. There had not been an agreement on their demands for fair compensation, and the members voted to strike. For 99 days, writers of America stood strong in a striking demonstration of what workers can do to create equity in the workplace. Now, with inflation and interest rates rising without wages increasing, we see the possibility of another strike on the horizon. 

WGA’s history of protesting seems to garner more and more attention each time it happens. After all, entertainment in America rests on those who write it. With innovations in broadcast television, streaming, and cinema, Americans have access to content created by writers who belong to WGA more now than ever before. While the possibility of another strike in times of economic strife may seem daunting to some, the historical credence of solidarity is a consistent guiding flame.  

Some demands that may be featured in future talks with Hollywood’s executive class include provisions for healthcare, the preservation of writers' rooms, and the restriction of AI-generated content. While the first two issues have been known to be a large part of past protests, artificial intelligence is certainly a newer and larger challenge.

It's black and white the reasons why writers are a backbone of society, and the moral compass of one's right to strike always points as a guidance for action.
