[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

Thank you @NicoleLaPorte1 for listening and sharing our stories. Knowing that I wasn’t alone in my struggles was both comforting and f****ed up. Script coordinators and writers’ assistants are NOT entry-level positions so why are we being treated as such? #IALivingWage

How the dream entry-level job in Hollywood became a never-ending, low-pay nightmare https://t.co/91XnFxxBuI

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

Not only is the ladder from support staff to paid writer broken but the pieces are reduced to splinters from so many people still hoping to climb it.

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

Important thread to read but could we also revise this to include the script coordinators and showrunner’s assistants who work even deeper behind the scenes and are often forgotten because they’re not always given the opportunity to even be in the room due to their workload?

[Jeffrey David Thomas @JeffThomasTV]

We know the PAs and WAs are creative and when given the opportunity, can contribute greatly to the creative process. This used to be how a writer would prove themselves worthy of a spot at the table - they get the chance to prove themselves and start their career. /?

[Travon Free @Travon]

As a DGA member this deal looks great. As a WGA member, this deal is proof the AMPTP just doesn't respect writers. The fact that you can make an historic deal with the people who can't even do their jobs until writers do theirs screams all you need to know about the AMPTP.

A friendly reminder that when you used to rent videos from us. We didn’t care who you shared it with… As long as you returned it on time. @netflix

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

Interesting how @netflix blames password sharing on declining subscriptions and not the low quality content, the mini rooms and constant churning of cancellations because of their refusal to pay writers fairly. #WGAStrong #WritersStrike #PayYourWriters

Zaslav getting hit with a Pay Your Writers chant in Boston. This is so good.

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

Ready to put your words into action? @MorePerfectUS created a simple tool to email the CEOs of Disney, Netflix, Amazon and HBO Max to express our support for the writers.

We’ve been making a lot of noise on the picket lines. Let’s continue to do so in their inboxes. #WGAStrong

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

We’ve set up a simple tool to email the CEOs of Netflix, Amazon, Disney and HBO Max and support the writers’ demands!

It takes just 30 seconds to lend your voice to this effort. (10/10)

Good morning except for everyone who won’t give workers a fair deal! #WGAStrong #AMPTP

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

Someone just asked me, “If you don’t like your job, why don’t you just get a better one?”

My question is, “How is that going to solve the bigger issue of corporate greed?”

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Last year, 8 Hollywood CEOs made nearly $800 million, yet pay for TV writers has fallen by 23 percent over the last 10 years. I stand with the nearly 12,000 @WGAWest writers on strike for a fair contract.

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

This is not okay.

Unhoused for Four Years: Why One Writer Returned to the Picket Line https://t.co/VBRy13ym1q

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

The role of the starving artist is abusive. Pay people what they’re worth. We all know the money is there and it’s more than enough. #wgastrong

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

“Out of touch”? So people who have no clue how the industry works are making half of the decisions? Noted.

[Deadline @DEADLINE]

DEADLINE: Perhaps this sounds silly to ask, but as the top person at the table, why do you think that was the attitude from Carol Lombardini and the AMPTP?

STUTZMAN: That’s a very good question. I’ll just say, the entire time it seemed like they were out of touch with what’s going on with their workforce.

[Nicole “Colby” Bachiller🌹 @bachillerette]

As someone who started a social media campaign last year based on sharing stories of what it means to be without a living wage, I had to learn the hard way that AMPTP doesn’t care about its workers. Just the numbers.

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

"Rejected our proposal. Refused to counter. Rejected our proposal. Refused to counter. Rejected our proposal. Refused to counter."

We brought writers' desperate stories of not being able to make a living in this business anymore to the AMPTP, and that was their response.

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.
