About that WGA strike --
Nov. 13th, 2007 09:08 pmThis strike is about four cents, and decent health benefits. Four lousy cents. That's how much of an increase they are asking for: four cents on DVD, Internet, new technologies, etc. So they can eventually retire, they can feed their kids and maybe even help them go to college.
It is VERY hard to be creative when you are either sweating health costs or money flow. I promise you this, from personal experience.
The WGA has been patient for far too long. I, for one, say Strike On!
I'm going to read, write novels and visit with friends. And catch up on the stuff on the DVR.
PS: Remember that long baseball strike. The numbers still don't match pre-strike numbers. All those writers work in multiple dimensions. But TV and movie producers are still producing, no matter where the medium is shown. Give them their 4 cents and get back to work!
