According to reports, the rise of streaming media platforms has led to a fundamental shift in the US television business, which has largely exacerbated labor conflicts. Currently, the screenwriters of the Screenwriters Guild of America are seeking a package of salary increases worth nearly $600 million, including an increase in the minimum wage and higher streaming media payments, as well as increased contributions to the union's health and pension plans.
The Writers Guild of America noted that despite the boom in streaming, their median wages have declined over the past decade.
