You will get NO help on the national stage as the FCC is bought and paid for and the wait for a new administation is unacceptable. It's past time to take their accounting practices to the legislature, California Labor Board, and any other agency in your state that can look into their union busting activities and their conflicting statements to stockholders. I do not know the requirements for a class action, but I would leave no stone unturned until I found SOMEONE who could look into the books. <BR/><BR/>Stand strong mighty writers, but it's time for the lawyers & the lobbyists.shortgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833505726345166790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462026865900537983.post-90682588346734151432007-12-07T22:40:00.000-08:002007-12-07T22:40:00.000-08:00I've always supported the strike.

Now? The issue is pretty black and white. <BR/><BR/>Good work, AMPTP.

Raise expectations, then dash their hopes. The weak, sensitive, neurotic writers will fall apart at the seams. Well, Mr. Mogul, writers live with ups and downs, extreme anxiety and uncertainty just about every time we sit down to begin our work. So take your stupid bully tactics somewhere else -- like a playground -- WRITERS don't scare that easy!!!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917397659185343081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462026865900537983.post-60599590028555074972007-12-07T20:29:00.000-08:002007-12-07T20:29:00.000-08:00"Is this an occasion to use the word DOUCHES?"Fran..."Is this an occasion to use the word DOUCHES?"<BR/><BR/>Frank, I like to say "D-Bags" in a situation like this.How's this B*%tch?https://www.blogger.com/profile/13796882422530313912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462026865900537983.post-26858169313825153302007-12-07T20:10:00.000-08:002007-12-07T20:10:00.000-08:00Well, it's as clear as it can be, the AMPTP isn't ...Well, it's as clear as it can be, the AMPTP isn't interested in negotiating. Nor are they interested in anything other than busting the union. Since SAG considers the WGA's fight their fight (as they should) as well, perhaps it's time to shut down whatever productions are still going on. A giant walk out, writers, actors, everybody.<BR/><BR/>A public boycotting of current films coming out, TV, DVD rentals and sales, the whole deal, wouldn't be a bad idea either.<BR/><BR/>And back to the picket line we go...Jake Hollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602947558576722328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462026865900537983.post-28516351601674121412007-12-07T19:44:00.000-08:002007-12-07T19:44:00.000-08:00One of the things I don't like right now is this f...One of the things I don't like right now is this focus on the PR firms.
