Last Monday night, May 1, 2023, the deadline for negotiations between both parties was fulfilled, and after failing to reach an agreement that satisfied those involved, the members of the Writers Union, by unanimous vote, decided to go to strike and stop work until they achieve fair treatment and payments that better reflect the importance of their work in the film and television industry.
