It was made more difficult for me to find a captain because I worked at night in post until the strike took out that part as well and I got laid off and so my picketing was in the middle of the day across two shifts, but Hilary welcomed me and kept me informed. She did a great job for her people, and I want to acknowledge her, too.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699032219230168373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462026865900537983.post-14403072870875049682008-02-20T20:40:00.000-08:002008-02-20T20:40:00.000-08:00Are these the same strike captains who bombarded m...Are these the same strike captains who bombarded my email with: Make sure you vote, "yes" to end the strike. And do the same with the ratification vote, knowing full well that "the deal" was <I>no</I> deal at all? <I>Those</I> strike captains?<BR/><BR/>Ummmmmm...<BR/><BR/>I'll think about it and get back to you. <BR/><BR/><I>Meanwhile...</I><BR/><BR/>I'll reserve my awe for those picketers who supported the strike by voting <I>to</I> strike. And I'll reserve my awe for those picketers who voted <I>against</I> striking. Both of whom joining together on the picket line presenting a united front. They did their picketing shift, hating every minute of it, and yet did it anyway, only in the end to be betrayed by a cowardly DGA Board and by their own leadership who settled on the cheap rather than holding out for something above average.<BR/><BR/> The people who walked everyday (and the fans, actors, assistants, and everybody else on the lines and behind the scenes), who never missed a day--rain or shine--since day one and until the end--<I><B>those</B></I> people deserve my respect.
