I'll also have to agree with iSm here - and I also want to note that the writers are striking for their union, but since they're the first to negotiate contracts and challenge the miserable state of affairs, they're not just striking for themselves, but for all of the other industry unions. If they cave now, then the DGA, and the SAG, and all of the other unions, will have trouble fighting. If the WGA keeps holding on, then all of the people who are currently out of work may have an easier time getting a fairer contract.
And there's no doubt about it - the non-union writers aren't treated fairly in the industry. Ask the reality writers; they're underpaid terribly and they don't have any way to fight the system. The writers who are scabbing are being underpaid, too.
