[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The studios didn't count on the public support, tbh. [/b]

My sister is in one of the striking industries and has told me so many stories of local restaurants and businesses bringing free food out to those on strike. There are also lots of places that will give out free or very deeply discounted food to those on strike who are struggling.

She said many big-time actors, writers, and directors have publicly and quietly donated funds to help those struggling to make ends meet while on strike.

My sister has picked up side work as a tutor and dog walker through a group formed to put those needing work done in touch with those on strike who need work.

I don't recall the outpouring of public support during the last strike. Probably because social media wasn't as big back then. It was around, but it wasn't as robust as now. My sister wasn't in the industry at that time, so I have no 'personal' reference, though. [/quote]

But is that just in CA? [/quote]
