First, I am not a WGA member or wannabe. I do have family “in the business”, but they work below the line in camera and set work.
By challenging management now, writers are hurting and alienating the group that cares the most about them,
I about choked on my drink when I read this. The studios don’t care a whit about writers. Read stories about the “notes” that come back from producers and other executives asking for changes. If the “suits” had been involved in the New Testament, the Disciples would have rescued Jesus at the last second from the Romans and they all would have ridden off into the sunset.
The industry is overwhelmingly liberal in its world view and politics, but is ruthlessly pure capitalist in its business practices.
