Hollywood's Writers' Strike

It's more likely getting funneled into parent companies, anyway.

But no, writers do not make as much as people imagine. Screenwriters sometimes do, depending on their popularity - but the number of those are pretty small. They're picketing for the $30,000 a year staff writers on union cable shows. They're picketing for the people who aren't big-name big-wig writers.
