There’s a Blue-Collar Hollywood—and the Paramount Merger Will Kill It

Hollywood isn’t all glamour. It’s thousands of line workers. And a Paramount takeover of Warner will make their lives even more precarious.

My office and attorneys general nationwide have secured an emergency order blocking the unlawful merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. This is a critical first win in our case to ensure this megamerger never sees the light of day.

Thank you @newyorkstateag.bsky.social for taking action against the Paramount/Warner Bros merger ✊

The following is a joint statement from the DGA, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA in response to the Emmys decision to eliminate awards categories from the live broadcast:

Shoutout to writers who are coming together in their union to ensure job security! With fewer competitors, the merger would give this entity leverage to lower costs by suppressing writers’ wages & reducing output—which also means fewer employment opportunities. It’s time to fight back! 👏🏼👏🏾👏🏿

Writers Guild of America West@wgawest.bsky.social · 3w ago

If Warner Bros. merges with Paramount, the combined company would become the largest employer of writers. Both companies are already industry giants and the loss of head-to-head competition will directly impact writers at every level as well as the pipeline for emerging writers. #BlockTheMerger

BREAKING: The Writers Guild of America has filed a lawsuit to block the Warner Bros-Paramount merger. This comes shortly after 12 states filed to block this $81 billion merger as well.

The Writers Guild of America has now filed a lawsuit to block the Paramount & Warner Bros merger. “With fewer competitors, a merged Paramount/WB entity would have both the incentive & ability to lower costs by suppressing writers’ wages & reducing output.”

WGA Sues to Block Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger, Alleging Writers Will Be Paid Less and Have Fewer Opportunities if Deal Goes Through

The WGA filed suit to block Paramount Skydance's Warner Bros. Discovery deal, alleging it violates federal antitrust law and would cause specific harm to writers.

The Writers Guild of America will not stand idly by as Paramount attempts to violate our country's antitrust laws and deepen the contraction entertainment workers already feel. #BlockTheMerger

I grew up reading Scientific American. At 180 years old, it is the longest continuously published magazine in the country. I fully support their staff's fight to unionize and continue their crucial work, regardless of who owns the publication.

Springer Nature's decision last month to sell Scientific American and lay off staff—in the middle of their union election—is a tragedy for scientific journalism in the U.S.

“The damage this deal would do to America's entertainment and news industries would be an absolute, unmitigated disaster.” The Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros. Discovery must be blocked.
