For context of that cost estimate: If the total union membership of those three unions is 200,000 members, that works out to $2,250-$3,000 per member. Or $187.50-$250/month.
Sorry we’re so greedy.

The new episode is all about Joey Chestnut, problematic mother-daughter relationships, and the definition of "jong-jong."

It only took six months for billionaires to remove nearly a TRILLION dollars from the economy. Stories like these are written as evidence of “good financial times” but the richest getting this much richer this quickly isn’t good news.

How bout you “Eyewitness” my balls?
Strike by Hollywood actors, writers causing collateral damage to small businesses in SoCal abc7.la/3DeZ4AQ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This article and headline misleads people to only blame SAG and WAG members for the downturn in business due to the strikes .
It fails to mention that the guilds are striking against the AMPTP, which ABC7’s parent company, Disney, is part of.

Shit's getting real in the WGA + SAG strike.
"There's a lot of ways to lose your house."

TIL that when SAG went on strike in 1960, the writers had already been on strike for five weeks and the studios brought in a federal mediator to find resolution.
Their main issue was residuals and a lack of transparency on the 12-year-old "new medium" of broadcasting.

Writers: “we would like to be able to have security and compensation for the work we do”
AMPTP: “we would like your children to starve”
Seems totally cool and reasonable that the AMPTP wants my family to be out on the street and starving, rather than give up 2% of their record profits.
Remember when we were all getting our start out here and someone would ask you to contribute your writing or acting skill to their project for free? And they’d try to sell it with, “Yes, you’re working for free. But think of the exposure!”
That’s the AMPTP right now.
