The Writer Strike - Writers v.s the Film Companies

As the strike continues, I find myself asking how much of the strike was worth the little guys losing their jobs. The media(at least from what I have seen) have not covered the negative effects the strike caused janitors and other non-writers who have lost their jobs. Now, I support the writers right to strike and I support the companies rights to make a profit Without trying to take the writers for a ride. Of course, the writers are treated very poorly in Hollywood when it comes to pay especially, Maybe if the studios had had more respect for the writers, this would not have happened.

However, maybe the writers should have formed a plan with the union to show the studios they mean business without hurting other employees in the process. Mahtma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr did not hurt the rights of people that did not deserve it with their civil disobedience.

I don't have an answer for the problem of mistreating writers other than: DON'T!! So, in an effort to help the writers, the other little guys, and get my favorite TV shows back on, I am opening up the blog to any solutions no matter how outrageous to be sent to me. I'll post as many as I can.

P.S - No, I don't work for a studio. I am simply a freelance script consultant
