Greedy corporate studios are greedy. Of course one of the underlying issues here is the same in every industry - healthcare. Enough! Universal healthcare for all the the US already!

I applaud this, it just makes me sad thinking other industries don't have similar leverage to get fair compensation for their labor. The studios were happy to wait our the writers because they had the funds to do so and the writers largely didn't. They can't play chicken with sag-aftra though, and they know that so they're smearing them trying to point to other parts of the industry this'll harm as if this whole thing wasn't started by their (the studio's) greed....but yeah what's an amazon warehouse worker to lean on, or uber/lyft drivers when faced with obvious corporate greed? le sigh

Good for the actors and writers.

Amazon, Apple, Disney, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony and Warner Bros Discovery

I guess that the studios celebrating loudly that their movies made a billion dollars in the box office is kind of backfiring.

Thrilled that Sag-Aftra were able to stand firm. Director's Guild, Producer's Guild, and Teamsters all voicing support. These are good times.

(I do wish the directors hadn't been so quick to sign their own deal.)

I guess this is a cruel, but necessary evil :D

Well at least this didn't happen during the lockdown.
