clearing out my strike stuff
I really need to stop letting these links pile up. @_@
Digital Media Law: WGA Strike: How to Restart the Talks, and Why -- a pretty balanced analysis that neither villainizes the AMPTP nor puts the WGA on a pedestal of virtue. A nice change of pace and a different perspective.
The AMPTP
Status of the Individual Corporations as of 12/18
Loads of interesting stuff
My favorite?
Why is the AMPTP negotiating with the WGA?
Competitors are not allowed to negotiate together, to even confer together. It's called collusion. When baseball owners merely created an "information bank" for offers being made to free agent players, they were fined $280 million. Two competitors cannot talk with one another if there's just a hint of agreement. Imagine ALL competitors in an industry getting together to set ALL wages and ALL labor conditions.
It doesn't happen. Anywhere. Not "anywhere in the U.S." Anywhere in the free world.
Except Hollywood.
