Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined the ranks of New York City’s SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America picket lines on Monday, demanding that workers keep up the fight against the “insatiable greed” of executives.
“While this is a fight against AI, more than AI, this is a fight against greed,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“How many private jets does [Warner Bros. Discovery CEO] David Zaslav need? For real,” the congresswoman added. “How many private jets do the CEOs need? It is insatiable. It is unacceptable. I do not know how any person can say, ‘I need another $100 million before another person can have healthcare.'”
The “Squad” member made the comments while standing outside the Union Square Netflix offices, according to a report.
Hollywood stars, including Tatiana Maslany, Sandra Bernhard, and F. Murray Abraham, were present, along with AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler.

“We have workers all across the country either currently on strike or gearing up to be on strike because, at the end of the day, we are all facing the same challenge, which is the concentration of wealth and corporate greed in America,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“Direct action gets the goods, now and always. … The only way that we can do this is by showing them that we are stronger. That our solidarity is stronger than their greed, that our care for one another will overcome their endless desire for more,” she added. “Your fight right here is what’s going to bust this thing right open.”
