A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Damn. That payout is a disgrace.
To clarify, this is how much "residual" pay the writers got out of the show being streamed after production. Imagine being a writer on one the biggest shows on a platform, and all you get for it being successful is like a tenth of a months rent.
The truth is these companies won't give in unless the strike starts hitting their revenue.. there needs to be a lot of shows on hold and garbage movies produced over time due to lack of good writers, only then something will happen.. which i think is going to be a long fight. I'm hopeful that some good comes out of this strike for the labour.
I hope the writers get what they want. The problem is that the strikes are actually saving the studios money so it won’t be soon.
Could you elaborate on this?
Daily Mail isn't journalism. They're complete trash. Trust them like you would a used car sales in man in a cheap suit.
For me it's any salesman wearing whatever.
I’m taking that one with a grain of salt; it’s coming from the mouth of one ceo, with little to no apparent fact-checking, through a paper that has been widely criticized for sensationalism and unreliability in its reporting.
You can't take the company at their word on that. They're in the middle of a labour action, of course they're not going to go on about how much effect the strike is having on them, that's counter to the goals of starving the other side out.
And anyways, this is saving money in the sense that burning down one's house will save money on rent.
Saving money, according to the studios. That's the studio bullshitting to intimidate people.
Saving them money now for massively reduced future revenue though.
Now that is a stat that puts into perspective why the actors and writers are striking.
