Disney Ceo Bob Iger is Committed to Ending SAG-AFTRA & WGA Strikes

Disney CEO Bob Iger took time to once again address the community of artists and actors picketing as part of the SAG/AFTRA strike. You may recall that earlier last month, in an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box Iger said the decision by the actors’ and writers’ unions to go on strike was, “very disturbing.”

Iger went on to say, “We’ve talked about disruptive forces on this business and all the challenges we’re facing, the recovery from Covid, which is ongoing, it’s not completely back. Iger added, “This is the worst time in the world to add to that disruption.”

Several actors including Sean Gunn, Bryan Cranston, Tatiana Maslany, and most recently Billy Porter have fired back at Iger in public statements and in the press. During yesterday’s earnings call Iger address his critics and the acting community specifically to improve the relationship between the Walt Disney Company and the artist community.

During the call, Iger circled back to the actors unions with, “speaking of the content we create, I’d like to say a few words about the ongoing strikes. Nothing is more important to this company than its relationships with the creative community. And that includes actors, writers, animators, directors and producers.

Iger added, “I have deep respect and appreciation for all those who are vital to the extraordinary creative engine that drives this company and our industry. And it is my fervent hope that we quickly find solutions to the issues that have kept us apart these past few months. And I am personally committed to working to achieve this result.”
