Lee, if you think that if Unions go away, working people will magically be treated with respect by big corporations you’re mistaken. Unions are no different than any other organization (government or private) – sometimes people at the top become corrupt – but they are necessary and actually vital to the economy and the middle class. Read a history book, my friend.

As a sound tech on a sitcom and a parent
of triplets all in braces this strike is killing
us below the line workers….how do we
buy Christmas presents and live with no
end in sight….and yet we have no strike fund…
everyone has to stop being so greedy, you are
directly affecting thousands of innocent people..

As a TV fan of several shows affected by this strike I would like to donate money to WGA strike fund. How does one go about doing this?

Writers, you need to keep this up, we’ve been bowing to the big powers for decades, and you are setting the path for all of us out here and showing us that it is possible to stand up against them. WE LOVE YOU.

Dear K Brian, If you have finished a script, you can both support the strikers and submit your script to one of the independent production companies who are not on the WGA list of struck companies.

Oh please, enough with the name calling! People are entitled to their opinions. As for me, an outsider who worked for big media before, the seven big conglomerates are very evil, and would rather destroy their entertainment divisions rather than give into demands. I’ve seen it done before. As much as I support the writers, they can’t win. In a long drawn out fight, big media will come out less damaged by far. Everyone else will be decimated. Not just the writers, but the support staff and anyone related to this industry. The States of California and New York will takes massive hits. The fans will be alienated and be watching youtube. Where’s the governator in all this? Just strike a deal.

Keep at it guys & gals. Support from the UK. The Movie companies get bigger & bigger and seem to able to buy everyone else off. You stick to your guns. The Internet is Evolving, they know it, they are just getting greedier.
As much as i love my “24″ you have support over the water.
Best of luck

I wasn’t even going to respond to the chidish anti-writer insults but I have to back K Brian on this. I’m a writer, heavily pregnant and last time had to wait 7 years between selling scripts. It was eventually produced, but no, Chad, I don’t have a swimming pool at my mansion. You know why? Because I don’t HAVE a mansion goddamit! Now Mike, I’m not into namecalling but you’re easily the most ignorant “neutral” I’ve ever run into. Like K Brian alluded to, when reading about a WRITERS’ strike, why would anyone ever expect that writers wouldn’t be the focal point? The technical & support staff help put bread on my plate (unbuttered though it might be), and I support them 100%. But to suggest that Entertainment Weekly is biased is quite frankly ludicrous, especially since I 1st read about the set workers’ plight on this site. To K Brian, I wish him/her all the best with that script and here’s hoping one day we’ll collaborate on a script about this strike – and give it a happy ending.

After slaving unpaid for 2 years, I finished my first screenplay the day the strike started. Did that sodomise my career? Damn right. Do I support the strike? Freaking-A-yeah. I won’t even bother responding to Chad, Erin, Lee – you’re just sad, sad human beings and my script had enough of those (oops – so I suppose you’ll be demanding royalties from me too?). But to Mike: Just because a writer’s site focuses on WRITERS (duh) doesn’t make it biased. It makes YOU biased. If you’re so neutral, Mr Switzerland, why not post us a link to the AMPTP sites where we can read about the plight of the set workers and TV viewers? And all the good stuff which the AMPTP, bless its heart, is doing to ease their suffering?
