The Writers Guild wants to take a bite out of Apple.
Deadline has confirmed that the guild plans to bring its monthlong strike to the front door of streamer Apple TV+ on Monday. In a deft move, the WGA action at Apple HQ in Cupertino, CA, dovetails with the kickoff of the Tim Cook-led company’s 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5.
The Apple action first was revealed Friday afternoon in a tweet from the AFL-CIO:
#BadApple Day of Action. June 5. Six cities and counting. Apple TV+ would be nothing without its writers. Find a @WGAEast @WGAWest picket line near you: https://t.co/4o4oJ9b24q pic.twitter.com/FS1BdniMJW
The WGA and other supporting unions also are planning protests at Apple stores in Philly, D.C., NYC, L.A. and more, sources tell me. In an important distinction, the Writers Guild and its allies will be handing out leaflets at the various Apple outlets and location, not picketing.
Renowned for its product launches and pivots, the tech giant’s annual weeklong shindig this year is expected to highlight Apple’s upcoming mixed-reality headset, along with a livestreamed keynote from CEO Cook at 10 a.m. PT Monday.
With the exception of the May 21 protests and jeers against Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s Boston University commencement speech, the Cupertino action is a rare departure for the WGA from the more traditional picket lines approach since the strike began on May 2. While the Guild has been in front of the studios’ gates daily and has held a number of rallies in both NYC and LA in the past weeks, as well as targeting the likes of broadcasters’ scaled-down upfronts, disruption of production on series and films has been the most visible and successful form of direct action so far.

When Ellen Pompeo sees Katherine Heigl before our photo shoot, she offers a greeting worthy of Barbra Streisand. “Hello, gorgeous!” Pompeo exclaims, giving Heigl a hug. And suddenly, it’s like no time has passed since “Grey’s Anatomy” premiered as a midseason replacement in 2005 — after ABC executives considered not airing the show at all — in the time slot after “Desperate Housewives.” Ultimately, these two women somehow not only surpassed the ladies of Wisteria Lane, they redefined pop culture. Throughout this reunion, we seriously take you back to the first days of TV’s longest running primetime medical drama. As “Grey’s Anatomy” became an overnight sensation, Pompeo and Heigl were launched into the stratosphere of fame together, for better and for worse. On the plus side, the Shonda Rhimes-created series revolutionized television, with women and actors of color leading the show. Yet the sudden, sometimes toxic attention — as well as spending those long days and nights on the infamously grueling set during the early years — taught both of them hard-won lessons. “If you cannot stand up for yourself in this industry, very few people will stand up for you,” Heigl says to Pompeo. “So you’d better learn how to, and you’d better be OK with them not liking you for it. ”

warns could be used as “plagiarism machines” to craft scripts without writers. According to a WGA memo, the strike is costing Hollywood’s economy $30 million a day.
