Alas, E!'s writers are non-union.
They will likely benefit indirectly from any advances the union makes with its contract. In most industries that employ both union and non-union, eventually non-union compensation at least someone mimics union compensation because the employers do need to keep their pay competitive.

Eisner's got his own point of view on the strike:

I've seen stupid strikes, I've seen less stupid strikes, and this strike is just a stupid strike." He also suggested that the writers weren't placing blame on all responsible parties -- such as Apple -- saying that, "The only real winner here is Steve Jobs. They should be striking up at Cupertino or wherever he is."
:rolleyes:

Wow, someone's bitter.

There were no strikers out at NBC and Disney this morning.
I wonder what was up?
(I didn't go by Warner to see if they were there or not.)

They're all at Fox.

All of them.

Really?
Wow!

Why Fox, particularly? Or are they making the rounds?

Hmm, then my sister might have lucked out and not had to actually cross a picket line at the studio she was meeting at today.

innerSpaceman 11-09-2007 06:33 PM
Yeah, no picketers at Sony either, the last two days. What's up at Fox that demands all the writers in Los Angeles be there?


All times are GMT -7. The time now is 08:57 PM.
