I’ve seen headlines about actors/actresses protesting about stuff. The same goes for other creative talent in the entertainment industry. What’s going on there? What are their demands? What fueled these protests all of a sudden?

    Thanks, but what started these strikes in the first place? Was there a key event that started this whole thing?
