I don’t watch much Yankee TV or cinema anymore, but seeing all these writers who basically created most of my entertainment as a child get organised and go on a big national strike feels like such a cool example of worker organisation. Many from the unions have even been putting out wider critiques of capitalism unconstrained by employment risks that, even if a bit unitedstadian, are also very useful.

And the way that the very same newscorps that they’ve worked for and created content to talk about are basically boycotting coverage is just yet another great way to understand the class conflict within an industry.

Piggybacking this to say, y’all on the USA should really get something like the strike calendar for a morning routine of keeping track of strikes and other industrial action without depending on the news cycle. Make it open source so we can steal it worldwide.
