Thousands of people marched up Fifth Avenue in the longest-running labor parade in America.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New York City’s annual Labor Day Parade is typically a time to celebrate the labor movement in the city that helped kick it off — but this year’s event came amid a months-long strike by writers and performers that shows no signs of ending soon.
But their allies in the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild are still entrenched in a months-long work stoppage where many say the future of their industry hangs in the balance. Actors and writers say they’re facing an existential crisis as streaming services have upended the entertainment industry’s business model. Also at issue is the increased reliance on artificial intelligence and computer generated imagery in producing television shows and movies — technology that some fear could supplant human performers.
Shannon Haddock is a stage performer who belongs to the Actors’ Equity Association. While that union is not on strike, she said she wanted to show solidarity with her comrades in SAG-AFTRA and the WGA.
