Nearly 30,000 people  have signed a petition which urges the British government to give film and TV crews furlough cash, after the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes in the US have left them without work.<\/p>\n

The UK’s Mail on Sunday<\/em> newspaper reports that a huge number of creatives, including many freelancers without any income protection, have been left without jobs after 10 major film productions were put on hold in the UK, and a further seven television series paused. Netflix’s big-budget Sandman<\/em> is reported to be one of those affected.<\/p>\n

The petition currently stands at 29,000 signatures – it needs to reach 100,000 to be debated in the British parliament.<\/p>\n

The petition calls on the government to provide “income replacement” for staff unable to work, as the US Writers Guild heads into the 19th<\/sup> week of dispute. The strikers continue to call for higher fees, protected royalty payments and protection from artificial intelligence taking over their jobs.<\/p>\n

High-profile British supporters of the strike action include Succession<\/em>’s star Brian Cox, its writer Jesse Armstrong and Mission: Impossibl<\/em>e’s Simon Pegg.<\/p>\n

The Mail on Sunday <\/em>reports that the government has said it is “engaging” with the industry but has yet to commit to providing financial support.<\/p>\n

‘We continue our support for the screen industries through competitive tax reliefs, investing in studio infrastructure, supporting innovation, and promoting independent content,’ a spokesman for the Culture, Media and Sport department said.<\/p>\n

This comes after Warner Bros Discovery last week said the strikes could dent their annual profits by up to £400million – despite the global success of its biggest ever earning film Barbie<\/em>.<\/p>\n
