Your actual argument is these studios are evil, so the workers should bow to them.
Not bow down to them, but compromise, which is what the WGA had to do as well, specifically in regards to this issue. Every negotiation requires compromise.Your actual argument is these studios are evil, so the workers should bow to them.
As for the bold bit, that is factually incorrect.
Example A:
Why don't the mega corps have to compromise?
They will and have compromised on a lot (just, once again, look at the WGA) but SAG has to as well. This is how negotiations are supposed to work.
I completely disagree with you. It gives them zero leverage.
They are gonna be bringing this up in every meeting and it's a significant crack in their supposed unity. It absolutely gives them leverage.
It's telling you assume SAG-AFTRA hasn't.
Who has more voting power? The rich actors or the vast majority of others?
Except the studios haven't offered anything close to a good compromise and walked away from the table and have basically lied at every turn. The studios aren't negotiating in good faith just like they didn't with the WGA.
I 100% guarantee you we are at the stage where whatever deal they come up with is one the actors would vote behind.
Thank you!
It doesn't matter it hasn't gained traction in Twitter or whatever, it absolutely has made noise in Hollywood and that's more than enough.
Labor rights NEVER "make sense financially." The 5-day work week didn't. The 8-hour day didn't. The minimum wage didn't. Unions exist for the express purpose of forcing the people with the money to do what doesn't "make sense financially."
You cannot possibly make that guarantee.
100%? 100? One hundred? You seriously think that it is an absolute certainty that whatever deal is placed in front of actors they will accept? No questions asked, they'll just do it. One hundred percent?
This says it all!
So what? Membership didn't want the deal and the public is putting zero pressure on SAG to end this. Until that changes the studios have no leverage. That the studios are crying poor while spending like drunk sailors on holiday is getting more traction than Clooney selling out his union.
What public are you talking about? I'm seeing an increasing number of crew members commenting each day in regards to the strike they're desperate for it to just end already. I have a friend that's in the industry working as a crew member and he's told me he's tired and that it's a common sentiment to be blaming SAG at this moment for the ask they made.
With common sense I can, yes. If the A-listers that leave comfortably on their mansions want this to have already ended, what do you think the people that have done nothing but suffer this entire strike have to say? Hell, even on social media I'm seeing waaay less people rally behind SAG than they did for the WGA.
Hm, it's almost like this second post shows exactly the issues with the first one.
How are both statements related at all? If it is true the studios did something illegal by walking away, why not use legal action already?Hm, it's almost like this second post shows exactly the issues with the first one.
