Late on a spring evening in May 1998, a Union Pacific intermodal train arrives at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The job is about to cross KLAD crossing, which crews have nicknamed for the local radio station that maintained its studios for many years in an adjacent building. As the northbound approaches, the ancient magnetic flagman merrily warns the world that a train is nearing the crossing. Once ubiquitous along lines of the Southern Pacific, the wig wag signal here is the last one in service on the Shasta Route.

It’s official ya’ll, Fran Drescher announced that the actors have joined the writers on strike in one of the most agreed upon call to strike in the unions history. The last time the two groups were on strike together was in 1960 where they eventually won the rights to residuals of theatrical films being shown on tv.
The business model changed but not the contract for the workers, sounds like Hollywood is letting history repeat itself.

I support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA
I was working on writing up movie reviews, but I’ll refrain for the time being. I know I’m a little late to stating my support but I wasn’t sure what did or didn’t constitute scabbing. I thought critical reviews was okay, but I’ve decided personally, whether they are or not, I won’t participate in movie or TV reviews until the strikes are over.
Not only do I hope to one day be a writer with the WGA, but also they, and the actors, deserve livable wages and fair working conditions. Hollywood and America at large think they can just wring us, the workers, dry. They can’t. They think they can just exploit us, and because they believe we live in fear, we’ll do what they say. But we won’t. We *all* deserve a livable wage and fair working conditions, it’s not just the writers and actors.
I stand with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. I stand with unions. I stand with workers.

I have a fundamental issue with anyone who's taking any kind of issue with the WAG and SAG on strike right now. I see a lot of comments with people bitching because of them being on strike and no one should feel sorry for them and they need to suck it and just go back to work. Oh and the dumbest one of all their a bunch of whiny millionaires. First not everyone that works in Hollywood that's an actor or writer is a millionaire. So you all need to stop just thinking that right now because if you do think that you're an idiot. Second them striking has nothing to do with your crappy existence or your crappy job. They have unions they have a right to strike if they feel like their needs as workers are not being met.
No the problem in our country is that we have a bad taste in our mouth for labor unions. Now where this bullshit concept came from I have no fucking idea. But the truth of the matter is labor unions are set there to actually protect workers. Like when studio heads that are getting paid millions like oh let's just take for example Bob Iger at Disney who gets paid 27 million dollars a year doesn't want to negotiate with writers that gets paid 30 times less than him. One of true issues is that we have studio heads that are basically greedy motherfuckers and they don't want to share a piece of their pie that was writers, not with actors, not with anyone not when they think they can get A.I. to write the movies and series for them.
It's also about the bigget picture of labor unions and the fact that every job in this country I don't care how small or big it is how good or bad it is need to have labor union. Cause the concept of the crappy job could be eliminated with labor unions. Of workers that have the power to be able to tell the bosses to go fuck themselves when they start treating workers badly. But instead we live in a country where the companies have all the control and the workers have none because somewhere along the way we decided labor unions were a bad idea. Everyone needs to stop bitching and complaining that the WAG and the SAG on strike. You need to start supporting them because they're simply doing what any working person would do with the ability, which is tell the bosses to go fuck themselves until the bosses decided to give them what they deserve as workers. And If any of you had any sense I would suggest you all go to your jobs and start planning, getting people interested in labor unions. Because it's the only way to completely remove and annihilate the concept of the crappy job in our country. Because until every job in our country is unionized. The Bosses, Companies and Corporations are going to have all the power and the workers are going to have none.

Should I write a Good Omens human AU set in Hollywood where Crowley and Aziraphale are screenwriters—former rivals, now partners—who disagree about the WGA & SAG-AFTRA strike?
Amazon is Heaven, Sony (or any other studio, really) is Hell. The bookshop is union HQ.
Crowley proposes they abandon the picket lines to go make a self-financed film on a private ranch in New Mexico and Aziraphale is like, “what, no, I’m going in-house at Amazon as a plant to swing the negotiating table toward equitable terms and I wish you’d join me.”
Crowley is all “you idiot, we could have had season 3 of [beloved show]” and Aziraphale says “I forgive you for doubting the strength of organized labor, I’ll do it myself” and “don’t agonize, organize.”
And lo, Aziraphale proceeds to brandish his flaming sword of negotiation to secure a fair contract that protects all the writers and actors of earth from apocalyptic AI destruction and ushers in a new era of peace and creativity. Crowley gets over his bruised feelings and helps by sending endless gluten-free pizzas to the picket lines and in the end they reunite to make season 3 on even better terms than before.
