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
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!
There was also several people at the studios who confirmed to the press that the studios were planning to, quote, "allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses." These people are scum.
