This. The studios can do NOTHING without @sagaftra except plan on what to do after @sagaftra decides they got a fair deal. Don’t fall for the @amptp’s weak, tired old ploys. Stay strong. Stay #UnionStrong
I’m not comparing this directly to the @AMPTP imposed strikes that @WGAWest and @sagaftra are battling now but this does neatly encapsulate an attitude that permeates corporate culture and explains the rising power of the labor movement. Workers matter.
one of my biggest takeaways from the WGA captains meeting on monday was leadership’s warning that we should be wary of any dates or deadlines that pop up in articles or rumors. “the strike needs to be settled by X date or else” is meant to scare. it’s a powerful tool—
The AMPTP wants to break spirits. It’s a tactic. Business is war. Solidarity with each other is how we maintain spirit. We’re artists. We FEEL deeply. All of it magnified. In each other, we can find resolve.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

If you are committed to voting for Trump no matter how many indictments/convictions he receives; you are the furthest thing from a patriot and you do not support law or order. You put your cult of personality that is rooted in nothing but hatred over this country. You disgrace 🇺🇸
The Korean Screenwriters Guild and the Korea Broadcasting Actors Union are working together and promoting legislation in Korea’s Congress for “fair and proportionate” royalties from streaming platforms, including Netflix.
