That's so horrible, threatening people's homes. Just the fact that they have enough money to try to wait it out while some writers are borrowing suits for their award shows proves the imbalance of profits, and it proves their point: that the studios should be able to pay the creators and workers if they weren't so greedy and paying their execs millions of dollars to remove shows from existence and say they're business geniuses.
Does anyone know if there's a way to donate or support the unions if it ends up coming down to people's homes and stuff being on the line?
Executives are not business geniuses. Directors are not business geniuses.
The people who actually create product... those are the geniuses.
Let's not pretend that it's the other way around. We should be painfully aware by now
i think this may be in line of what you were asking for: https://entertainmentcommunity.org/
I saw a story I think yesterday, saying that the producers/studio executives that said this bullshit were backtracking because they basically admitted to illegal retaliation.
Doesn't mean they're not still thinking it, though lol
