2007-2008 Hollywood writers' strike

The 2007-2008 Hollywood writers' strike was a labor dispute where writers of TV shows and movies protested for better compensation, especially from new media like internet streaming. Organized by the Writers Guild of America, the strike lasted 100 days, halting many productions. It aimed to secure fair residuals, rights for new media, and protect creative control. The strike significantly impacted the entertainment industry, leading to delayed shows, shortened seasons, and economic losses, ultimately resulting in new industry agreements on digital content compensation.
