[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we think anyone will cross the picket line? If so, who? [/quote]

Non-union employees. [/quote]

Crossing the picket lines is too much of a risk for union members.  Film and television, especially on the production side, is a word-of-mouth industry.  If word gets out that someone worked as a scab, they are likely to have a hard time getting work in future.

Not only that, SAG just dropped the rules for Influencers this morning. Lots of restrictions there including for those who aren't SAG members today but who might like to become one in the future (e.g. it won't happen if you break the rules).

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, this strike is very close to home and I sympathize and support my fellow parent friends who work in this industry and have been out on the picket lines. It is needed. I'm not going to write an article on why, there are plenty out there to read.

Art matters. IP/likeness matters. Wages matter.

I would not want any of my favorite films/TV shows or songs to be written and performed by machines [b]Its eye opening to see how many people see no value in the hard work (and by and large, underpayment) of those in the performing arts.[/b]

Eye opening and incredibly sad. Part of the dumbing down of the world, that people see no value in performing arts and creative endeavors (like writing). [/quote]
