Mùa hè lao động nóng rực

vì các 'gã khổng lồ' truyền thông sở hữu hãng phim, rạp phim, kênh phân phối trực tuyến, đạt doanh thu, lợi nhuận kỷ lục, trả cho ceo hàng triệu usd, liên hoan/tiệc tùng ở Cannes...

nhưng các biên kịch viên thì thu nhập undecent, giấc mơ trung lưu xa tầm tay,

các biên kịch viên đã đoàn kết lại, bao giờ đến các biên tập viên :D

Three different union (công đoàn) bosses told a roaring crowd (đám đông gào thét) Friday evening that we're in for a "hot labor summer" or a "super hot worker summer," so that might give you a sense of where we are at this stage of the Writers Guild strike (biểu tình), which is nearing the end of its first month and looking to stretch out into beach season.

Hundreds of unions workers from across Hollywood and other industries rallied (tụ tập, diễu hành) at Unions Strike Back, a solidarity event that not only included the WGA but SAG-AFTRA, the Teamsters, SEIU, Unite Here, and a number of other labor organizations.

"Our members have been side by side on the picket lines with members of the Writers Guild and we will be there until that strike is over," said SAG-AFTRA national exec director and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland on stage. "Your fight is our fight. Our fight is your fight. We are all in this together. Every worker has a right to a fair wage, a fair deal from their employers."

"Giant media companies who own the studios and the streaming platforms report billions of dollars of revenue and they pay their CEOs hundreds of millions of dollars while the cast (diễn viên) and the crew struggle to earn a decent living," he continued. "Corporate greed (tham lam) has put the middle-class lifestyle out of reach for so many."

He echoed the assertion from California Labor Federation's Lorena Gonzalez that it would be a "hot labor summer."

...Hicks called out Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO David Zaslav to loud jeers from the crowd, as the high-profile studio exec — partying in Cannes, booed in Boston — remains uncowed by the strike and has emerged as a uniquely villainous face (bộ mặt đểu giả) among picketers (người đứng cản không cho đình công).

Comcast's NBCUniversal also took some heat as IATSE Local B-192 pres Nicole Miller spelled out the financial difficulties Universal Studios Hollywood workers go through, even as the amusement park (công viên giải trí) debuts (ra mắt) Super Nintendo World and draws in record revenue (doanh thu kỷ lục).
