This is to anyone who somehow thinks unions are bad. They are not. Structures like in Mafia Cartels are bad (like the police union in the US).
Counterexample: police unions
Bob Iger got his lunch eaten by saying the strike was going to last until the writers went to the poor house.
Bob and his classless “class” of elite schmucks look like they’re eating shit yet again.
Congratulations writers you deserve it and more!
Yeah - fuck Iger.
AI was a big sticking point (of course pay too) and it appears the writers gained a lot of ground to protect themselves from AI. So this is great.
Residuals were really important too. It’s how writers survive between seasons/gigs.
The pay is also incredibly important, because most writers don’t get residuals period. It’s just the pay for the job and that’s it.
I’ve only had a little time to glance over it, but the deal itself actually looks pretty rocksolid.
Bill Corbett is someone whose opinion I trust:
Yeah the residuals and AI concessions alone pretty much made it all worth it.
Glad a decision could be made.
Now get to writing the next season of The Boys god damnit!
