Disney CEO Bob Iger Calls WGA & SAG Demands Not 'Realistic'
In a surprising moment during his interview with CNBC’s "Squawk Box" this morning, newly-returned Disney CEO Bob Iger blasted both the writers who are taking part in the ongoing WGA strike and the actors gearing up to announce their own strike. The executive suggested that the demands of those going on strike are unrealistic, especially at the moment that we are in as a society right now.
“It’s very disturbing to me. We’ve talked about disruptive forces on this business and all the challenges we’re facing, the recovery from COVID which is ongoing, it’s not completely back. This is the worst time in the world to add to that disruption. I understand any labor organization’s desire to work on behalf of its members to get the most compensation and be compensated fairly based on the value that they deliver.
