Unions Urging Actors Not To Work On Hobbit Movie
lbalbalba writes "Last we heard about The Hobbit, Guillermo Del Toro dropped out, Peter Jackson was unofficially directing and secretly auditioning actors, the movie had yet to be green-lit, and Ian McKellen was getting super-antsy about the whole thing and threatening not to play Gandalf. This shouldn't help the long-gestating movie happen any quicker: Actors guilds including SAG issued actual alerts yesterday against working on any of the Hobbit films, advising their members not to take parts in the non-union production, should they be offered them."
What sort of amendment to the First Amendment would you have in mind to prevent collective bargaining by employees with their more powerful employers^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^Wprotection rackets?
And is it the fact that the gap between the richest and the new middle class has coincided with the reduction of union power that makes you happiest, or the simple fact that when someone is yellow and lives on the other side of the world you can forget how they are being treated entirely?
Very few US "liberals" are liberal. They hijacked the word, and now here in the US it refers to an authoritarian leftist.
Seriously mine make as much sense as yours
I suppose you could see it that way, if you were dumber than pond scum. I'm amazed you have enough brain power to keep your lungs functioning with that level of FAIL.
