Sindicato de Roteiristas dos EUA de Oeste, com sede em Los Angeles (Writers Guild of America West – WGAW) e Sindicato de Atores de Tela e Sindicato Federal de Artistas de Televisão e Rádio (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists – SAG-AFTRA) estão em greve. A greve iniciou em 2 de maio e persiste até dias atuais, paralizando a produção cinematográfica dos EUA há mais de 4 meses. A greve mais longa da categoria na história dos EUA foi em 1988, que durou 153 dias.
Regras do sindicato
Os sindicatos são bem estruturados e categóricos em exigir que os sindicalizados devem seguir à risca as regras que impuseram para a greve de 2023, até que consigam entrar em acordo com os patrões. Enquanto durarem a paralização, os membros do sindicato não podem trabalhar para nenhuma empresa que está ligada ao sindicato do patronal. Principalmente no caso do WGA, sindicato dos roteiristas, caso algum profissional que não é membro do sindicato faça algum trabalho para empresa ligada ao sindicato do patronal, ele não conseguirá entrar no sindicato futuramente, sendo esta uma forma encontrada pela organização para evitar furos de greve.
O que os grevistas reivindicam?
Os grevistas reivindicam a melhoria no salário e bonificação de streaming. Outra polêmica envolve a tecnologia ChatGPT, pois os roteiristas exigem que o uso deste recurso tecnológico seja usado somente para auxiliar na pesquisa e demais atividades facilitadores, e não para substituir roteiristas. Em 2020 teve o último acordo coletivo salarial, que estabelece piso salarial mínimo para roteiristas de televisão e cinema. Mas este acordo tem a cláusula que fecha a aplicação para somente roteiristas que escrevem para programas que foram exibidos na televisão aberta, excluindo o streaming.
De streaming entendemos como programas de transmissão online. No Brasil, os serviços mais conhecidos são Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, HBO Max, Spotfy, Twitch, Hulu, Amazon Prime Music, Amazon Prime Video, Globoplay etc. A exigência de WGA inclui demandas como ‘duração do emprego’ por contrato e a inclusão de um número mínimo de profissionais nas produções. Outra questão cara para a WGA é o aumento na alíquota das pensões e fundos de saúde.
Quantidade de grevistas
A greve já mobilizou cerca de 171 mil pessoas. Muitos nomes conhecidos na indústria cinematográfica e televisiva estão participando de piquetes organizados por sindicatos. Para o público em geral, que não está dentro da indústria, é difícil de entender por que está acontecendo greve num mercado tão lucrativo, onde o lançamento de filmes consegue levantar bilhões de dólares somente em bilheteria.
Os salários astronômicos dos protagonistas são sempre divulgados na imprensa, mas o que a imprensa golpista omite, é a condição de trabalho dos profissionais que fazem parte da indústria e não aparecem. Quando aparecem, geralmente são aqueles figurantes que não tem fala, não tem nome de personagem e mal são creditados no final da obra, sendo como é de se esperar, muito mal remunerados e vivendo uma realidade totalmente oposta ao glamour vivido pelos poucos artistas muito bem pagos.
Grandes produções afetados pela greve
A greve atingiu não somente a produção cinematográfica e série televisiva, mas também talk shows, premiações, festivais e programas de televisão, ou seja, em indústria do audiovisual norte-americana. Deve-se lembrar ainda que Hollywood é um dos principais instrumentos de propaganda do imperialismo no mundo, o que traz um custo financeiro e político muito grande para a greve.
