Drew Barrymore is joining writers in their bid for fair pay. The strike has already seen several productions stalled, including the Late Night shows.
With the amount of shows going offline as a result of this strike, people might start to recognize the weight writers pull as a fundamental part of any entertainment industry.
Drew Barrymore, an A-list actress and talkshow host, has been won over by the writers’ movement and she has joined in campaigning for more base pay for writers in Hollywood.

So why are writers of Hollywood protesting you ask?
