    Striking works. It can be painful for all involved, but it is the only way to force bosses to the table.

    Solidarity forever.

    Finally. I did not expect it to last this long, but I really hope that the deal is as good as described, so we can all get a move on things.

    Remember, unions and strikes work, and you should always support them when you can.

    This is why unions are necessary.

    Wonderful news. If only they’d tried to compromise right away and saved everyone the time and trouble.

    I guess the executives found out that an LLM AI is not capable of replacing writers. This was always going to end this way, and I wish that the deal would involve all of those rich CEO bastards having to admit that they were wrong in public, in as many words.

      Yet. Not yet. But soon LLM will be on par with humans. Be prepared for that day.

      Thought it was straight up cancelled before any strike?

      That’s a tentative agreement, they’re still on strike until their union tells them to go back to work.

        Even if the writers union gives the greenlight actors are still on strike.
