Every three years, the Writers Guilds negotiate a new basic contract
with the major American Television & Movie Studios by which its members
are employed. In the 2007 negotiations over this contract broke down and
the WGA member****p voted to give its board authorization to call a
strike, which it did on Friday, November 2nd with the strike beginning
the subsequent Monday.
Among the many proposals from both sides regarding the new contract,
there are several key issues of contention including DVD residuals,
union jurisdiction over animation and reality programs, and perhaps most
im****tantly, online media.
What is your opinion on the writers strike? Will you change your viewing
habits? Are the strikers justified?
1. Should writers receive residual payments on DVDs and online content?
2. How would you rate the quality of today's entertainment?
3. It is likely this strike will last for several months. If your
favorite TV shows and movies are delayed, can you survive? lol
4. What are your favorite TV shows affected by the writers strike?
