This episode starts with a history of the first large union in the entertainment industry, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. It talks about how the union started and how it ended up with over 170,000 members today. It then focuses on the SAG-Aftra and WGA strikes that occurred this year, broadly outlining the reasons the strike started and how it ended for the screen actors and screenwriters. Finally, it wraps up by spending some time on the problems that still affect the entertainment industry, like how the rise of AI is attacking writers’ jobs.
