If you don’t get my Clifford Odett’s reference then shame on you! Only one of the best working class writers to hit the scene in the 1930s. Google some shit. Anyways, Cliff would have been proud. This from Variety:
Writers will strike
WGA members will walk out Monday
By DAVE MCNARY, CYNTHIA LITTLETONThe Writers Guild of America and its 12,000 members is about to announce that it will go on strike Monday against studios and networks.
The official announcement will come at a news conference at WGA West headquarters in Los Angeles, following approvals in Friday meetings by the WGA West board and the WGA East Council.
Talks between the WGA and the companies broke down on Wednesday — a few hours before the contract expired — over the issue of DVD residuals and work for the Internet. No new talks have been scheduled.
The strike announcement follows a unanimous recommendation by the Guild’s negotiating committee. WGA leaders told 3,000 members of the strike plans Thursday night at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
In voting several weeks ago, WGA members gave a 90% endorsement to authorize their leaders to call a strike if no agreement could be reached.
