]; these people have changed my life and do such incredible work. So the absolute least I could do was be out here to support them and everyone else in the WGA.”Greg Iwinski, an Emmy-winning writer and a strike captain for the WGA who recently wrote an episode of, explained that writers had no choice but to strike. “We worked up until the last night [of our contract] to try to get a deal. But when there was no time left, the options were to take their bad offer or to strike.

I think they’re asking for a fair contract, and we need to support them.” A writer who is not in the guild, but hopes to be someday, said that this strike is “the last stand for preserving humanity in the industry.
