An amazing morning on the line at Disney with hundreds of picketers supporting SAG-AFTRA. As long as it takes!
These stories in the trades have some SAG-AFTRA members concerned. First, these are likely a kernel of truth under a steaming pile of studio spin. But let’s cut to the chase. Is Fran Drescher eccentric? Hell yes. And there’s enormous power in that.🧵
Since the CEOs walked away from negotiations with SAG-AFTRA on Oct. 11, the AMPTP and Molly Levinson’s unionbusting crisis PR firm have been spinning out nothing but propaganda and outright lies. With negotiations resuming tomorrow, it’s time to set the record straight.🧵
This is the week to go out picketing. Doesn’t matter where or for how long. SAG-AFTRA already has the leverage, they just need to prove it. That means bodies on the picket line. Let’s help them win this thing.
If A-list actors want to help end the strike, have they tried organizing a Murder She Wrote Day?
Fox’s MURDER, SHE WROTE picket is the talk of the town! Tomorrow, Thursday Sept. 21 from 9am-12pm. Just like the show we’ll have special guest stars, iconic fashion, and maybe even a mystery… come by the lot (main Pico/Motor gate) and snoop around with us J.B. Fletcher style.
We’ll be back on the picket line at Fox tomorrow to celebrate the end of summer with our O.C. picket. We’ll have signs, music, swag, food, and very special guests.
They tried to trick us into negotiating with ourselves. We held together and didn’t let it work. So now, they’re sitting down to negotiate with themselves — as they should. It’s way past time for studios to get serious and make a fair deal. deadline.com/2023/08/holl...
Amid growing speculation of internal divisions, the chiefs of Hollywood's biggest studios are set to gather today.
The fact that Deadline--owned by Penske media, which is indebted to the studios--actually published this should tell you how bad it is on the studio/streamer side. All they have to do is make a fair deal with us. Instead they're infighting.
It’s giving desperation, it’s giving fecklessness, it’s giving incompetence, it’s giving just make a deal with us if only to avoid further embarrassment
