So. You want me to look up the info you want? Really?

Nope. I'm currently watching Rockford re-runs. Most new programming is blah..

No. I asked a question you answered it with no real info and I commented on it.

More for your perusal.
WGA Minimums — Writers Guild Pay Rates Explained

Too bad the retired former NYC area labor lawyer is not on here any longer. I think he might have passed, unfortunately. Used to talk to him a bit at a local dog park. But I do not recall him posting for a few years on Talk of the Villages.

I see this strike going on for a few months but could be wrong.

Remember how much we liked the Classy Hollywood stars!

When they keep their political influence$ on the screen, stage and tube, we'll return in droves.

That goes for all political sides, so this doesn't turn political.

But, the Way We Were isn't the way we are now, so frankly Scarlet, I don't give a ____!

They joined the strike after the screen writers had already been on strike for a month or so instead of waiting for the writers’ strike to be over. I guess that’s striking while the iron is hot.

Show me the money
 

I'm not either an actor or a writer, but I did negotiate contracts with the majors twice. Most well-known actors are doing very well money wise. But the majority of the business are working stiffs that live paycheck to paycheck. When you sit down for negotiations you are not sitting opposite the CEO or management you are across the table with people whose jobs are to figure out a way to keep the increase as low as possible or find a way to avoid any increases at all. Now I never considered them the enemy, because I understood the game, but I was also aware that the executives at the same time they were claiming poverty were earning millions of dollars a year. The problem here is larger than the entertainment industry. When workers help a business grow both management and workers should reap the rewards and when a business starts to decline everyone should share the pain. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. When a business starts to turn sour the CEO remains at their highest salary or gets fire with a golden parachute while the workers suffer one way or another. I don't have the answer, but there has to be a better way for this to work.

Our economy will miss them.

Good riddance.

I really do not think I will even notice. Unlike th 890s, 90's there aren't many (any) scripted shows I watc`h on TV. As for the movies, No desire to see movies reshot with a "equitable" cast.

I am sure we can entertain ourselves with the streaming services we use.

Maybe if they stop turning out garbage. We are streaming some of the older shows. We especially enjoy the British ones.

Seems like a supply and demand problem. Maybe the "working stiffs" should consider changing professions. Plenty of jobs in medical and building trades.

The actors are supporting the writers....they don't make $20 mil.:mornincoffee:
