Peace at Any Cost


Howard A. Rodman's op-ed piece in the LA Times.

The AMPTP put a lot of rollbacks on the negotiation table. They took ONE off this week. Some people consider this a victory and feel that the WGA needs to make a compromise in return.

In effect, the AMPTP took $100 out of our pocket, gave us $10 back and is saying, "Hey look, we gave you $10!"

I don't want a strike. I can't express that vehemently enough.

I've voted YES on a Strike Authorization Vote in order to try to avoid a strike.

This whole thing is an absurd game a chicken and the union has just got to stay together.
