Margot Robbie Shows Solidarity with Writers Guild
Margot Robbie proved she can make even the most casual look runway-ready as she took to the streets during Wednesday’s SAG-AFTRA rally. The Barbie star, 33, was a vision in an oversized white tee, putting her own stylish spin on the protest uniform. With her signature blonde locks flowing freely and chic sunnies shielding her eyes, Margot commanded attention as she proudly held her poster high during the march from Netflix to Paramount Studios.
The Australian beauty was joined by fellow Aussie actress and friend Samara Weaving, who sported a similarly laidback look of green shorts and a white cap. But all eyes were on Margot as she led the pack of protestors through West Hollywood in her effortlessly cool white kicks.
Margot and her fellow actors are currently united with the Writers Guild in the first “double strike” the entertainment industry has seen in over 60 years. The united front is aiming to get more equitable pay and protect workers from being replaced by AI, among other important issues. Read more...
I hope there are strikes going for games too. I am looking forward to develop a Gta Chinatown Wars like game on Godot engine.
Game developers don’t have unions. Besides, this is a B2B conflict. Workers don’t care if it’s more expensive to publish a game.
They should though. They get screwed harder than nearly any other subset of the tech industry. Tech workers, overall, and need unions too. They're getting such a miniscule cut of the revenues that it's shocking.
The biggest impact is on indies that may have very few devs. If you're not making AAA or even AA games, it could mean closing down.
Yes, but striking doesn't help small devs at all.
