Like I said, I think they should get more money too, but there are better ways of going about it and pissing off the viewers isn't one of them. Strikes are childish and immature and what the WGA is doing sounds like a temper tantrum from a 3 year old who can't have cookies before dinner.
"You won't give us exactly what we want so...we're not going to write!"
Obviously both sides are being stubborn. The WGA are asking for too much and the Studios are offering too little. If the WGA were asking for a reasonable raise, I'm almost positive the Studios would give it to them. The Studios aren't stupid, they know that they depend on the writers, but the WGA needs to get off of their high horse and come down on their asking price.
Strikes, in my opinion, are the beauty of a civilized society and the true genius of unions. They long ago abandoned asking for exactly what they've wanted. They dropped nine of their original demands, and right before the strike started, in an effort to try to stop it, they even withdrew their request for a increase from $0.04 per DVD to $0.08... all they were asking for in the end were rights to online content, so they don't get fucked like they did in the 80s, and the studios still weren't willing to give it to them. That doesn't sound like too much to me

Strikes are not childish and immature and part of it's purpose is to piss of the viewers.
Frist a strike or a stopage of work is to show the Hollywood Companys that they can't do their jobs without them. With the writers then Holly companys make no money what so ever. So what better make less money or no money.
IF the viewers are pissed off, they hoping that you as view will call the Hollywood Companys and voice your opion to give the writers the raises they are asking for.
Ask any you want this question. "Does you paycheck show what your worth?" Everyone would say that they should make more.
