Writers Strike In DENIAL as Actors REBEL They Are Losing 

How are writers the cause of ALL the woes? They call all the shots somehow? Lots of blame to go around.

Awesome 👏 video 🎉

It was the most brilliant commentary I heard in my lifetime. The fact 18 September, my birthday, date stamped 5:00pm I am commenting at 7:00pm. Brilliant. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 As too, Drew Barrymore? They went after the weakest link. Can you think of a more fertile target than an actress for approval? This had not been a good year for Drew. Remember bending the knee to Dylan.😂

I looked it up.Strike breakers have apparently been called "scabs" since the early 1800's.The more you know.

Love how the people who make less money than the writers have no choice about not working just so the people who mostly stuck at their jobs can fight for more money, benefits and job security.

Considering all that together I would be glad to light the first torch.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!

Hiding their greed and laziness behind a gooey film of virtue and victimhood

@@leanja6926ones who contributed in cringewood promoting degeneracy? Lol no, let em burnn too

Hear hear. There's already enough entertainment out there made by their betters that Hollywood could blink out of existence today, and there's gonna be enough older movies and shows to keep us glued to our screens for a lifetime.

I am so happy seeing someone realise how Hollywood and the elites look at us. Indeed, we are nothing but dirty peasants to them.

It’s beautiful

​@@a.r.mproductions5616popcorn ready in hand! 😂😂😂😂😂

How do these people think they have any levage when they put out such garbage? Allowing them to self destruct can only be seen as a public service.

This entire thing was just about as fortuitous for audiences/consumers as it possibly could be. Hollywood actors, writers, and directors have been so far up their own asses for so long now that they have been producing nothing but petulant sludge for over a decade. They all continuously act like their audiences are beneath them. They've used every awards show and even their individual platforms for years to try and tell us plebs how to live our lives while simultaneously calling us dusgustinh names and openly disrespecting the fact that WE are the ones who make them rich and famous. Atleast back in the day they were making amazing movies and TV shows while they were looking down on all of us but now they are nothing but a bunch of creatively bankrupt, entitled narcissists who firmly believe they are far more important then they truly are. Well, now they know we give ZERO fucks about them as individuals and all the terrible products they've been producing for far too long now. There's nothing quite like a bunch of narcissistic assholes finally figuring out that no one really gives a shit if they come or go. It's really a beautiful thing.

😂😂😂😂😂

Yep watch Billy Elliot...WE all shouted it during thé miners strike

No shit. He knows that, ffs. He was just saying it's not gonna stop anyone. It's literally saying "You're not going along with the strike" Obviously you know that already. Ergo it's fucking pointless.

They moved to LA and became inundated with the city's culture.

You are confusing cowardice and evil.

No spines given

Agreed and upon that we already have a ton of really good shows and movies so it’s not is if we are going to starve of entertainment

Nope, they don't realize it at all, they are way to dense and in a bubble for that.

I am going to sit down with my kids tomorrow and try watching Rainbow Brite, a cartoon from 40 years ago. What do I need Hollywood for?

Started rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, It is better than everything on TV today.

Most shows me and my Dad are watching are from years ago, like murder procedural *The Mentalist*, *The X-Files*, *Heroes* and big mystery show *Manifest*. Happy enough with most of them, sure and there's more than enough to keep us going.

And so everyone can share the blame when the shows fail. It's like a group project where everyone gets a C despite half the group not doing their fair share.

@@hope-cat4894 half the group? that's some hard workers there. Try 1/5th

They could also team up for a nice Maoist "struggle session" whenever anyone involved in the production tries to go against "The Message".

It’s called feather bedding which is a typical union tactic.

the union deff want it so they can make more money.

Also, all the higher quality movies and shows from the past are now available. There is already more content than anyone can watch in a lifetime.

​@@mrhallman64Exactly! Now how many true classics have been generated in the last 8 years? 😂😂😂😂😂 1 2 maybe 3 movies, the rest is all trash that will be forgotten in a matter of months (mainly the superhero movies that have been recycled over and over again).

That's why Cranston is a laughable twit. I can see why he was cast as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle as he is actually that stupid in life.

Thank you for this. I had never quite understood the point of unions besides having the ability to shutdown a critical industry. This makes a lot more sense to me for unessential industries to even have unions. I was genuinely confused as to why so many unessential industries have unions in the first place.

That's unions in a nutshell these days. They no longer care about their members, they care about themselves.

Yep. Union dues pay for the strikes, and legal fees for the lawyers during negotiations.

@@paneraemployee7549 the original Idea of a Union is to protect the workers from Bad employers and to ensure they are given fair pay and benefits. A Single voice changes nothing but a collective one can put the pressure on these companies to make deals. the unions gets payment for as OP said. The collect money, to put back into the union for a eventual strike and for other things such as if a member gets hurt or to Pay for Other benefits provided by the union. A union Has the same ability to corrupt just like any business. The bloat from upper managements sucking up all the funds and the union defending bad apples that bring the system down. A union like any business should be dissolved after a certain amount of time and replaced with new terms

​@paneraemployee7549 The main point of a union is collective bargaining for minimum standards. The second point of a union is representation and conflict resolution for the undividual. The third point of a union is support during industrial action. Unfortunately unions tend to be led by people who are most interested in reason 3.

That's just a throw-away issue thrown in for negotiation. The real reason the strike will never end is due to streaming revenue (which the idiot writers thinks exist when it clearly doesn't)

Or 3) they are complicit in letting "the house burn" while simultaneously scrubbing for a foothold in the new format of the industry. It's interesting that Fran Drescher, with her close ties to the management of the corporations, has been spearheading the strike.

If people think AI is so much better, then remove all the copyright data it was trained on then without consent. Oh? What's that? You mean AI can't do anything at all if you remove all the copyrighted data it was trained off of?

The way the human brain works and the way ChatGPT works are two very different things. Chat GPTis inherently derivative. It provides the most likely output to an input, based on the data set it was trained on. It can’t “create,” it can only provide answers based on probable outcomes. And even then, it’s subject to error. A human being can look at a body of work, synthesize what makes it interesting or what they personal like about it, and then create something new that’s uniquely theirs. It’s not the same thing. Chat GPT could probably write a decent middle of the road romcom or action movie. It could not write something like Breaking Bad. The problem with a lot of Hollywood writers is that they lack talent and they hate the audience.

​@@2012sonora Your description of a language model AI like ChatGPT is very superficial, mind you. (I'm a professional software dev for over 15 years now, I do that stuff for a living :D) This "trend" of describing ChatGPT to simply provide information based on "probability" is another way of blackbox thinking. Stating that information is derived from probability actually tells you nothing regarding the source of the information. It's like stating "probability tells me to use iron for bridge construction instead of bamboo". So the question remains or becomes: Probability of what? Probability that it burns? That it bends? That it grows? Of course the only probability that you care for would be "probability that it breaks under the load/weight". It's the same with how language models truly work. In short: No non-computer scientist has any way of understanding how ChatGPT works, but people like to think they do, so they come up with allegories. But sadly in the case of AIs this allegories are so superficial, since they are trying to explain something very technical, even in a technical context, without using any technical terms or constructs. Let me put it this way: Try explaining how a car is actually starting when you turn the ignition key, without using any technical terms or references. And in the end what you'd end up with would be something along the lines of "you turn the ignition key and that makes your car run". It's so superficial, that you could argue that you have just rephrased the question: Which is exactly what you see in all non-technical explanations of ChatGPT about "predictions" or "probability". So yes, ChatGPT works different from the human brain in some regards. But it is extremely close to how the human brain works (actually the consciousness or train of thought) in other regards. And what ChatGPT could write is not at all limited to repeating an already existing story or work. That's simply not how ChatGPT works. To drive my point home: Since the dawn of time or rather the "invention of art" people are asking the questions "where does creativity come from?" or "what is creativity"? Some argue it is simply the repetition or copying of things already seen. But of course, that can't be all, since this would mean nothing we see today (technologies, and such) could have been created, because at some point there was nothing you could copy it from. In fact, what most accurately describes creativity, is the transformation of pre-existing patterns. Like drawing a picture of a fictional alien planet. It is based on your concepts and ideas rooted in science. So you could argue that to some degree you are simply using "science" as your source and are therefore "repeating" something that already exists. While you could also argue, that this exact picture never existed anywhere in the world. And this is why you see actual developers of ChatGPT at OpenAI publicizing statements that "they didn't think ChatGPT could answer X", but it did. Or even "we don't know why it can do Y, we never actually taught it" and stuff like that. It can give you a (seemingly) creative output based on pre-existing information, it has been trained with. It can connect information sources and derive new information based on its input that hasn't been exactly specified or expressed anywhere before in this exact manner. Which, again, is what a lot of scientists think creativity is at its core. ChatGPT is no simple google search engine, nor is it a database interface. (Also note that ChatGPT did pass the touring test at the beginning of this year.) And therefore I argue, that with the state of modern Hollywood writers, you could very likely make ChatGPT write a story, which is indistinguishable from the nowadays very poor quality nonsense Hollywood writers are boring us with in recent years.

Why? They chose to work in this fucked up.woke industry. If they are technically gifted there are millions of jobs in the US outside Hollywood and hundreds of millions elsewhere. These fuckers made their choice. Much better to make real things not the diarrhoea coming out of Hollyeoood.

I only feel sorry for the folks behind the scenes, NOT THE WRITERS.

The people behind the camera are the ones that are having the issue. I am sure you don't care if they strike for the next 5 years. It matters to these people. Say what you will, but the arts are critical, be it bad art or good art. This viewpoint is so missing the forest for the trees.

Crew and animators, yeah. I'm actually really glad for the writers. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for those who are actually terrible to just do something else with their lives. And the ones who know theyre good, or who really love it, will have to fight to stay in it. The only problem is how many think theyre amazing that just fucking arent

Those are the being being scr*wed over by the actors and writers. The same guilds that are more than happy to throw everyone else under the bus.

Same

Coverage of their strike failing is pretty entertaining.

@@earthstar7534 That's true! 😂

​@@earthstar7534 my post op recuperation entertainment was the Depp Turd Trial in its entirety. I was hooked. Pity they don't write them like that. 72 years old housebound and bored. Even books are garbage. That Fifty Shares of Gratuitous porn went into the log burner. Disney is going Chairman Mao Cultural Revolution, destroy everything replace with New. American culture is being destroyed, Bud, Target, NFL, Hollywood. The glue of society being dissolved, division and factions fighting over small things while the country burns

Other than the fact that they'd have to lose the narcissism, & actually have some sense of introspection & self-reflection...? The only other things that persuades people like that- are reputation, & money: Wilde said it best, 'The only thing worse than being talked about- is not being talked about' - when you turn into some form of social pariah- you at least have the potential to be talked about, & can be kept in others' consciousness in _some_ fashion- & thus, slowly pave a way back for yourself, if so inclined- by virtue of the fact that you're remembered. The worst thing a person in Hollywood can be, is a has-been - not worth even the consideration of gossip... While all of the reporting on this can be super-entertaining, & the fact that ratings & returns on the activist-driven 'master-pieces' have gone ever-lower, _should_ *force* the studios to really think about what kind of environment they've supported & let thrive, instead of seemingly doubling-down on the same garbage ideas that audiences have repeatedly showed they *_don't_* want, & then punish those same paying audience members for the feedback - by insulting them, & acting like their money isn't needed... What would these people do, if they stopped getting the attention- that they so desperately want? I don't live in California, or America- I more or less stopped watching mainstream TV back in 2018 - if it wasn't for entertainment channels on RU-vid, & the occasional article I come across on my search engine homepage- I wouldn't know about the strike. And other than sympathising with the crew & service personnel who are made to suffer for this ongoing situation, I have no reason to care how long the strike goes on...

Don't forget how they laughed and told the coal miners and other blue-collar jobs being lost to tech that they should learn to code. Now they demand our sympathy and support.

@@als3022 Guess they should probably... learn to code Ai 😂

​@als3022 Ha! Beat me to it! Yes, our "essential workers" in the entertainment industry, who have succeeded in failing to entertain ANYONE (other than people like Nerdrotic, Disparu, The Critical Drinker, et al) for the past decade, now demand that WE, THE PEOPLE they told to shut up, obey, and die alone and in poverty, fund their ongoing delusion that the part-time jobs they have in Hollywood should pay them better than having a full-time job in literally any other field or industry. To that, I say: 🤬😤🤡

@@als3022 And of course the entire media sides with these bourgeoise fucks and claims "most Americans support the strike." No they don't; no one gives a shit about these pampered, soft little fucks that work a no effort job for relatively tons of pay They get $5K-$20k for part time work per WEEK and claim that isn't enough

@@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese And pass their idiocy to an woke A.I. ?! 😬

Haha "Film Actors Guild"

Are they blackleg working for the Russian TV? Were winning we are!!!

Why would studios care if the strikers find out they're losing money? Everyone knows they're losing money, but the money is unlimited because anyone around the globe who wants to launder money will come to Hollywood if the rates are good.

Well the writers don't seem to know they are losing money.

@@gorkyd7912 We know that alot of studios are losing money, but we don't know for sure why as that information is private. But if viewership counts where made public then shareholders would discover the truth; nobody is watching some of their shows despite the studio plowing hundreds of millions of dollars into them. Everybody could see exactly which products are tanking, and that would likely cause some interesting shifts in the industry. Personally, Im for it.

Panic when they fail art class

I see that here in the usa

Hollywood has BECOME one giant failed art class. Filled with failed art students.

Yeah, if only there was some strong leader to crack down on these socialist trade unionists... /s

Which is funny, because a BIG part of that "walking in line" during that period of European history was being forced by pro-union Communists and Socialists like H×tler and Stalin.

Bingo!

@@Anoneemus_Noenayme its called indoctrination and brainwashing and that's what's happened to them probably through the school system which is run by lunatics

@@Anoneemus_Noenaymemust be in NA servers? Thankfully, in the EU servers we don’t have much of that crap… yet. And our east Europeans friends still remember well the communist hell, deportations, famines, poverty etc…

100 years ago ppl were obsessed by having their teeth not caved in if they broke the strike. Atleast we grew somewhat. And to be honest - I support US strikes. In EU we have them at first sign of trouble. And it works in worker favor 100%. Downside is only that we dont have 100s of billionaires. Its a bit harder for top 0.1% because they have to respect their workers.

@@franglais-riders he blames "collectivism" for that shit. When its actually individualism to blame. Everyone is special snowflake. So he couldnt be more wrong.

Where is this strike losing support?

@@Not_Always Can’t lose what they never had 😂

​@@Not_Always if they still have support, it's from people who are equally as clueless about business as the WGA members. Harp on the bean counters all you want, they are the people who even ensure the artistic folk even have job in the first place.

@Not_always, this clown is on this comment section trying to defend unions and the strike. Truly pathetic, lmao.

@@Not_Always The strike is losing support from the other unions in the film industry

Recent times meaning last 30 years or so certainly or last 50 years likely?

US unions are different than any unions around the world.

The second the first union achieved its goals is when the corruption started. As long as there have been unions there have been petty tyrants using them to gain power. They are still needed as when they're working you need a tyrant to fight against another tyrant, the management. The problems arise when there isn't an enemy to fight so the union needs to justify their existence and create one.

things have changed over these 100 years

The moment unions rose in the US, men in the Mob like Capone, Bulger, Cagliari, and countless other mobsters took them over seeing them as easier money than "protection"

Bill is what the English call " all mouth and no trousers". A real man wore trousers, only women wore skirts. A man who made a statement and didn't stand up for it was not worthy of wearing trousers as he had nothing there to need covering.

absolutely I hope their whole system burns to the ground just sick of their woke ideology

Exactly. I’m sick of woke comedies and dramas written by talentless activists. I second the call to burn it all down.

The fact that you think the writers are the one 'shoving' woke politics into content tells me you have no idea how business decisions work at all.

​@@TychonAchaeSo it's people (executives?) telling the writers what to write?

Yep. I say let them all lose their jobs, then rehire the wheat in the chaff.

This isn't what's happening at all though. Please get your news from people other than this guy who isn't even aware of what is going on with the strikes.

That’s not why they are striking.

​@@Not_Alwaysnah. Msm wont tell the truth either.

@@Not_Alwayslol, so what’s happening then? The union wanted a 5 month strike? They are flailing and it’s hilarious.

It’s fun when you can just make up whatever beliefs you want!

Its all poor writing. Race and gender swapping are not always bad writing but are not substitues for it

@@yurikendal4868 I agree: I should have mentioned the poor writing as that is a quite significant factor. I mention the race and gender swapping because they have been on the nose and very much (in my opinion and that of many others) ideologically based. I can accept either or both for artistic reasons, but never for ideological ones. Why? Because is just means that Hollywood ends up being racist and/or sexis,t which is something which goes against the contract of civilisation that we all sign up to. The hypocrasy is astonishing.

Ditto - Hollywood is not needed. Much, much better stuff on You Tube and others.

I agree that there may be someone reasonable but... Since they are inside the industry that at best wants to reprogram society, at worst doesn't care working for/with the most morbid criminals... I care less for the individuals than Hollywood itself, because they are fundamentally the backbone of this hot pile of garbage on fire.

$7K minimum to write something like She-Hulk far exceeds "reasonable" wages. These weirdos blame the studios, but the UNIONS are the ones taking all of their money and the DEMOCRATS are the ones making everything more expensive. They are free to make their lives better, but they'd rather take away the rights of others and piss on them laughing. I have zero sympathy. They wanted this. They promote this. They financially support this. They voted for this. They attack anyone who doesn't want this. They can deal with it.

I was literally saying "why the fuck make a union to negotiate with the 'evil studios' when you could literally just take everyone in the union and fund a studio yourself.... one that is 'worker owned.' Oh wait.... they want all the reward but never want to take any of the risk So these losers are demanding even more money and less risk. The solution is so simple; make your own god damn studio

Yeah you would think with all this incredible talent they could produce works of art unseen for generations. Strange they'd rather do nothing.

Lol, yup. They always say management and shareholders do nothing, but then, when we say "OK, then quit and do your own thing" the come back asking for more of the profits, they think are there. Like, if you want the profits, buy the stock... Sometimes it goes up (Tesla Nvidia ❤) sometimes it goes down... (Disney flat for 5 years is sad.). Yet people NEVER want to risk their money on stocks. My whole liberal complex will cry about "the rich" but invest in stocks? Buy a house? Anything? No... And before you say houses are too expensive. MOVE. If you're too poor to buy a house where you live, don't live there. Not a hard concept. You're not entitled to live in California or new York.

They need to keep some of the hens around to cluck about how everyone who doesn’t agree with The View is an alt-right Yahtzee.

Most of the dreck these lefty hacks pump out has an evil corporation as the antagonistt. Look in the mirror Hollywood/SAG/AFTRA, that would be you.

100% chance those two were there just to be disruptive in the audience, then got upset when their participation ribbons were taken away.

It's the same tactics that have been used, and the same drone mindset, for over 50 years. If you disagree with their narrative and agenda, you are demonized. Opposed to shipping little kids all the way across town to a hostile environment at risk to life and limb, to go to school, just to enforce a socialist agenda? Why, you must be a racist! The left have always been about f*ing individuals for the sake of their Great Visions.

Of course they have a clue. They are lying.

Unions turn ugly on their own kin when they try to feed their families

I'm actually wondering if that's true. It wouldn't surprise me if the studios go under, the unions lose their bargaining power and instead smaller creators produce the next wave of decent material. I guess we'll see.

Oh, but they can, they can…

Yep, when they refused (what sounds like) a good deal simply because they didn't get the "minimum writers rooms", it sent a clear message: They don't have the talent to actually get a job on their own merits, so the only way they can go on is if the studios are FORCED to hire them.

After dwarves turned black in the Tolkien universe, nobody gives two shits about anybody in the entertainment industry.

I've seen the tyranny, but to be honest, its not needed that often. The hivemind nature of unions is scarier. My wife's former union threatened to strike over an agreement difference so small that it would have taken 2 years to make up for just one week's worth lost wages. But to make things worse, they ended up taking a last-minute agreement to avoid a strike that was worse than the original offer. It shifted 1/3 of the annual pay increases into a one-time bonus, which didn't compound, and so by the end of the contract we were making notably less. But it let the union claim victory because they hit their target percentages and "saved our wages" as long as no one checked the math. Sadly, few did.

​@@bethanyh1637Tyrants are a outgrowth of group think. Everyone being scared of everyone else is when Tyrants thrive.

Yeah. I spent 20 in the construction trades. I was always dubious of unions. Collectivism is a race to the bottom. It is a decent gig if you are bad at your job and can't stand on your own talent.

You are right on. In a union it is discouraged to move up the ladder to management to do better in life. They need the worker ants to get their dues $$$$ where was the union during the me too? where were they these last 5 yrs since the last contract? how do they afford to put millions into Bidens campaign put hVe no money to give to these strikers? But they jave money to pay daily pay workers to walk the strike line in NY & LA?

​@@redneckroy8947 100%

perhaps it will be much improved after the multi months picket holiday

Union backlash pops up every few years, but the existence of unions is absolutely vital especially in a place like the US. If you look at the games industry right now, the numerous shitstorms that lower level employees have to deal with is so agonizing. Which is why they keep trying to form unions, and game companies try their hardest to bust them. And in general, if all the billionaire executives are actively trying to bust a union or trying to disparage striking employees , or are promoting some sort of proposition on a voter ballot (see Uber), don't fucking trust them.

@@FreedomStrike76I’m not so sure they are. Maybe there was a time during mass industrialization where workers banding together to demand they be treated with basic respect was a good thing, because industrialization was unprecedented and there were, therefore, no laws already in place to protect such workers, but such laws have long ago been put in place and are still enforced. You still must pay your workers the agreed upon salary, and working conditions must be appropriate and as safe as possible. Beyond that, unions no longer do anything good. All they do is demand more money from everyone, worker and employer alike. They nag the government on as many levels as they’re allowed to get away with, demanding yet more actions from the already heavy hand of bureaucracy to further punish business, which indirectly harms the workers employed in such businesses, and then the rest of the economy. Let people negotiate for themselves, don’t systematically dumb them down by instating a helicopter-parent organization over them to unfairly demand things for them that no one is entitled to by default. I do agree, however, that requiring union membership is probably the the function that grants unions the most destructive power in the first place.

@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBro I find it very interesting that the time communism starts rearing it's ugly head the same time you have unions first appearing, which function similar to communism; where the people on top are more equal then those at the bottom.

​@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBro unions represent individuals

@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBroPeople tried negotiating for themselves then were beaten and shot at, so they formed Unions. It’s in the history books and humanity has not gotten any better since they were written. As Amazon and other companies constantly prove. The writers strike proves why there are rules against secondary strikes and pickets in the UK. Just because you want more money, it should not give you the right to block others from working in unrelated jobs.

"Drop them as a friend" Ruining friendships over a difference in opinion on the writers strike is pretty extreme behavior. That's something you'd expect from the "woke" writers you despise so much.

SO DUMB

@@gnarlkill1 They said nothing about despising woke writers, only about how everyone of these people are acting narcissistic which they do. Funny how anyone who is triggered immediately starts putting words in other people's mouths. Sure, telling someone to drop a friend because they support narcissism like this is a bit extreme, but if they are okay with that then frankly your friend is a horrible person and you should evaluate if you should want someone so selfish in your life.

😂😂😂😂

Same here, Disparu's commentary is much more entertaining and clever than anything those writers and directors could ever come with lol

Or hell, even get the writers they're looking at hiring to present drafts or examples of work, half the time it seems like people are hired sight-unseen.

Tbf, a lot of the Hollywood writers are not involved in plot, but in dialogue and jokes. All the little things that make a scene or a show. That’s also why many of them need to be on set in LA and a writer’s strike can work. If it was just for plot, studios would simply ask fans to send ideas.

@@davidgantenbein9362 Maybe they _should_ - when the last decade or so of productions has increasingly looked like bad fanfiction, maybe they should look for people that *do* care about IP's, even if not 'professionals' - they sure as hell couldn't be any worse- & larger writer's rooms might make more sense, to get people to bounce ideas off of, rather than what the 'Hollywood writers' rooms' have proven to be...

@@OcarinaSapphr- Yeah, they definitely need better plot writers and better showrunners, but it doesn’t change the fact that a lot of these writers are only there for the small and daily work, which can’t be shoveled over that easily (otherwise studios would have moved that work to some sweat shop in Asia long ago).

A great deal of American unions are just that, gluttonous monopolies desperate to maintain power through any means necessary. They have chokeholds on the government, therefore the businesses, therefore the consumers. It’s truly a terrible system.

They're required to use a percentage of members of SAG AFTRA, depends on the contract. Also, production companies make tons of money what kind of mafia are you comparing the union members to? A normal SAGAFTRA member makes around $22-$30/hour. A non union actor gets around $16... i think In n Out pays more hourly. SAG AFTRA is asking for an 11% increase which is like, another $3 an hour. The CEO of Paramount makes like $87,000 daily or something like that. THAT'S the Mafia.

You don't but there would be picket lines and protests, no doubt a purple haired fatty would threaten to kill you

@@beanclam Basic racketeering is when a group (like a mafia family) demands certain things (usually money) from people who may or may not need them in exchange for withholding a severe/arbitrary punishment for not paying. For example, if I went up to you in your home and said, “You need to pay me $$$ so that I can protect you from your house burning down... by accident,” that would be racketeering, as I’m forcing (threatening) you into an unsolicited business/financial agreement. Unions work the same way by forcing productions to hire their writers or actors. A production team may not want to use any of the WAG writers or SAG-AFTRA actors, but their production’s green light is contingent upon hiring enough of those people. Point is, personnel hiring is supposed to be the prerogative of the production team, not unions.
