On strike since May 2, the Writers Guild of America announced a tentative agreement between the union and major studios that could end the strike.  WGA East and WGA West, in a Sept. 24 statement, said: “What we have won in this contract — most particularly, everything we have gained since May 2 —

Picketing has been suspended and writers are returning to work. The rank and file will be voting on the contract from Oct. 2 to Oct. 9.

While the language was being finalized, the union asked its members to join a picket line of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The actors represented by SAG-AFTRA are still on strike.

The new agreement reportedly addresses writers’ demands for a livable income, minimum staffing levels and guarantees their jobs will not be eliminated by artificial intelligence.

    And there we have it. Workers are only worth anything if their production is things, not ideas, eh comrade? Anyone who disagrees with your ridiculous, narrow ideology isn’t a true “worker,” is that it?

      The ideas they produce are imperialist apologism, warmongering jingoism, historical revisionism, bigotry, hate and supremacy.

      Not supporting these things is a “ridiculous narrow ideology” according to you.

      isn’t a true “worker,”

      What does this even mean? Do you think all workers everywhere should be supported no matter what they do?

        That’s not what he said at all. Probably like 90 percent of Hollywood doesn’t openly or even partially glorify the military. You’re being a right-wing tool for no reason.
