ON STRIKE AUTHORIZATION

Too many bad cooks in the kitchen.

Hmm, one of the architects of some of the largest labor actions (WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes) in recent history _himself_ agrees he should be paid less. Make foolish choices, get foolish outcomes.

THIS AWARDS SEASON
DON'T CROSS THE PICKET LINE

SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and DGA members have all won, but hotel workers are still fighting!
Support us! Pledge that you won't attend any award show or other awards season event held at a hotel with a picket line.

"Alone we beg, together we bargain" isn't just for individual people: it means unions working together succeed together. IATSE and Teamsters are up next year and SAG-AFTRA doesn’t have a new contract in place yet. This year we set the tone, next year we bring it home. 4/4 end

We can bring home to the CEOs this everlasting truth: employees deserve a fair day's pay for a fair day's work in safe, stable working conditions. 3/4

An "activist" shareholder, Nelson Peltz, seeks to dismantle Disney. These companies and CEOs hurt themselves and us, they need our work, badly. And will try hard to divide us to get it for nothing. 2/4

The companies can't endure additional strikes.

Netflix's "new" section is a throwback to retro content; CEOs got a compensation cut due to shareholder-imposed pay reductions. Iger and Disney face multiple lawsuits from various investor groups. 1/4

We need contractual, legislative & judicial safeguards in place to keep things more fair for everyone on all sides of every deal. We must own & control our likenesses & voices. Full stop.

Laws, courts & contracts will have to make things work better.

CEOs, unfamiliar with labor issues, lack experience and mentors in organized labor. They must grasp that relying on a Victorian labor playbook harms _themselves_ in the 21st century. Collaboration with labor is crucial. Harvard Business Review thinks so too:

Oh that’s good. Follows the spirit of Constitution's description of copyright & #IP being for a limited time too.

"..promote…progress of science & useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors & inventors…exclusive right..."

I know: laws don’t work on their spirit alone.

Screenshot of a thread post by fieldsshawn: Making product, especially entertainment, and not releasing it should never be an allowable tax shelter for corporations. Release it for free in perpetuity, then you can take your tax deduction, but only for the tax year is released in. Maybe something to look into @justicedepartmentof @irsnews

IATSE and Teamsters can bring home to the CEOs this everlasting truth: employees deserve a fair day's pay for a fair day's work in safe, stable working conditions. "Alone we beg, together we bargain" isn't just for individual people: it means unions working together succeed together. This year we set the tone, next year we bring it home.

“We didn't just come toward you, we came all the way to you,” Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos? Did you though? Or are you trying to paper over the harm you did to everyone including yourself?

Why won't the actors let me keep them in poverty?

Ted Sarandos, Netfix co-CEO
($50.3 million for 2022 compensation, while more than 86% of union actors make less than $26K a year)

“Hollywood will restart, and while studios may pretend that the industry as a whole has to cut back on future projects after the cost of the strikes, it's worth noting that the value of the deals SAG-AFTRA and WGA received are still worth way less than the L studios took by refusing to come to the bargaining table.”

Ok Mr. “Talent friendly CEO,” this is how the world sees you. Is it talent friendly to for roughly 107 days out of 118 refuse to even talk with your talent? Your actions have consequences.

And you made me split an infinitive too 😝

I don't want to pay or even talk to the actors!

Bob lger, Disney CEO
($27 million compensation a vear, while more than 86% of union actors make less than $26K a year)

Real progress is a good thing.
