Hollywood Union Authorized to Strike

Oct 19, 2007 23:07

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Members of Hollywood's film and television writers union have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike anytime after their contract expires at the end of the month [October 31st].

Studios and TV networks have accelerated filming of shows and movies and begun stockpiling scripts in case of a strike.

The last strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks. Losses to the industry were put at $500 million.

More from the Chronicle.

So who's working for T-shirts now? Huh.
