Listen "The Indypendent News Hour On WBAI - 99.5 FM 18 July '23"
Episode Synopsis
We talk to two SAG-AFTRA members, Nicole Izanek and Jonathan Walker, about the historic actors' and writers' strike. They discuss the atmosphere on the picket line, how the contract they're fighting for reflects the massive changes that have taken place within the industry, and how the greed of streaming services has led to inequity and pay disparity.
Then, Amba Guerguerian gives updates about the deteriorating conditions on Rikers Island, including the recent cut of daily programming, and yesterday's announcement that the federal government is going to court to take control of Rikers from New York.
