Deal Reportedly Reached In Writers' Strike

Posted by kdawson on from the gonna-be-a-backlog dept.

BlueshiftVFX writes to let us know that the writers' strike may be over. CNBC and other media are quoting former Disney CEO Michael Eisner: "It's over. They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It's going on Saturday to the writers in general... A deal has been made, and they'll be back to work very soon."

    Yeah. As it is, those folks only make $75000 to $100000 a year. That's not much to live on.

    Your an idiot. They know that they will never make back the money they lost to being on strike. Thats not what a strike is about. Its about making the future better for all writers. The writers that just started working or the writer that will be hired in 2 years, those are the people the will benefit the most from fair working conditions. If the deal is fair and the entertainment market doesn't change drastically, then it is unlikely that the writers will go back on strike in the next 30 years. Plenty of time to make back lost wages.

    Going on strike is not an easy decision.


    Sure it is. You just mindlessly follow your union leadership. No decisions necessary.
