According to reports, producers expect writers will run out of money, possibly lose their homes and be forced to come to bargaining table. Producers denied these reports.

Good. Labor movements are most successful when solidarity is in play. What I’d really like to see is the directors join them - that segment of the industry has considerably more clout than the talent. Cherry on top would be producers joining in, but I don’t see that happening unless they also have exposure as celebrities (lookin’ at you, Affleck… the strike already shut down Unstoppable, so you might as well jump onto the picket line and show your support - would get you good press).
Directors already made their deal. Could they still go on strike?
No. Solidarity action is illegal in the USA because of course it is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_action
Goddamit. Upvote for info. Incoherent internet rage for the fuckers that wrote the Wagner and Taft-Hartley acts.
Striking itself used to be illegal, so fuck the unjust law and strike together.
Yeah but they literally can’t make you work, so…
Labor has more power than it realizes and should weild that power more often.
