    Oh that union must be new. Did you not hear about the strikes recently? Two years ago, and the job market still hasn’t recovered. In some shows they were winging it without writers.

    And that’s separate from these weird “profit sharing” contracts they’ve been giving to actors in recent years too. Only to then do some creative bookkeeping and write down everything they do as a loss.

    Doesn’t make hollywood rich, but it definitely makes the shareholders rich

      You have misunderstood. Hollywood’s writers have been fully unionised since the 1930s. Shows were not winging it without writers, as showrunners were still supervising things as part of permitted work in their producorial capacity.

      The job market won’t recover. That’s about market forces not strikes.

        Ahh, in that case those are some meaningless darn unions. No wonder they had to go on strike

            Feel free to bring an argument rather than attack my character. I’m covered by a union and it’s a lot less terrible
