Picket lines form outside studios in Los Angeles and New York as 11,500 writers of film, television and other types of entertainment strike over higher pay from studios such as Walt Disney Co and Netflix Inc
Demands 'not unreasonable'
WGA member Danielle Sanchez-Witzel, who was picketing Netflix in Los Angeles, said the guild believed the studios had plenty of room to improve their offer. Fallon told AFP at the Met Gala in New York,"I support my writers; we have a lot of staff and crew that will be affected by this, but they got to get a fair deal."
As talks collapsed on Monday, the WGA accused studios of seeking to create a"gig economy" in which writing would become an"entirely freelance profession."
