This week marks the 100th day of the Writers Guild of America Strike

ATLANTA — This week marks the 100th day of the Writers Guild of America Strike, and it’s almost been one month on the picket line for actors union SAG-AFTRA.

With minimal work, the thousands of others who work in the movie industry are also trying to weather the storm without any work.

Behind everything we watch, there’s a guy like Nick Morgan, setting the scene as a set decorator.

“The rugs the furniture the décor the artwork,” explained Morgan.

He’s worked on shows like Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias. But with the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA striking, his work on movie sets has dried up and the bills keep flowing.

“I’m selling furniture. Being a decorator, I’ve acquired a lot of stuff from my career, from productions. I’m a collector of lamps, I’ve had to let some of my favorite lamps go,” explained Morgan.

For years, Justin Bagby has worked in Georgia’s movie industry.

“I drive trucks for the movie sets: rig and grip, I drop off props, special effects equipment,” said Bagby.

But right now, he’s had to leave his daughter in the peach state and go to Kansas City to work with his father.

“I’m having to move out of my apartment, I’m having to get back on the road, I am a truck driver,” he said.

And there is no real end in sight.

Attempts to restart negotiations last week between the Writers Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers ended without a deal. But while times are tough, they’re prepared for what might be the rest of the year with no work in the movie industry.

“However long it takes, however long it takes,” said Bagby.

“I think this is literally a once-in-a-generation moment for labor. If you’re making profits to that level you need to give some back,” said Morgan.
