grawk Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 They may not lose their jobs (unless the show gets canceled or they stretch it out to the point where the network can end the contract), but they're still going months without salary - I'm sure there are crew members making in the 40-50k range, and a few months without pay will still blow, and for a cause that doesn't even benefit them. Sure, but when you rolls with a union, you sometimes dies with the union. The union techs I know all have bartender jobs to fall back on anyway.

And as a self-correction apparently the non-writing crew's issues are next up after the writers, so the present strike actually is relevant in a tangential sort of way. I hope they get some cash soon. Mah Shows ain't on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierce_freak Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah, I think Directors and Actors contracts are up in June or July, so I think it's likely we'll see another strike then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
