Actors join writer strike: first tandem strike in Hollywood since 1960
cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/1078917 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/1078917] > According to reports, producers expect writers will run out of money, possibly lose their homes and be forced to come to bargaining table. Producers denied these reports.
I’m having a hard time believing that industry executives are negotiating in even remotely good faith. If that were true, it’s not likely that a second major union would have joined the strike.
Such ridiculous pandering; get ready for the PR tactics that will make union demands look unreasonable and paint the workers as lazy and greedy.
Their last offer apparently I cluded a bit where extras could be paid for one day. Where they would be scanned and a digital likeness could then be used in any project for perpetuity without additional pay…
So yeah, fair to say they’re not negotiating in good faith.
That was a threat to lead actors.
Accept this or we’ll replace you too
