Hollywood prepares to strike

They were shut down for 4 months in 2020 except for JP6 and animated content. So they have some practice with it at least. I liked that for what it was because it gave me time to catch up on other older movies. If they need to strike please go ahead. There is an overabundance of content already, more than anyone could ever watch. If there's a strike I hope it doesn't have to last too long. People should be willing to pay more for their entertainment too.

Hollywood crews say they will strike next week if there is no agreement

Ratcheting up pressure on the major studios, the union representing Hollywood crews announced Wednesday that its members will go on strike on Monday if they can’t reach agreement on a new contract.

A walkout would bring film and television productions across the country to a standstill and would be the biggest Hollywood labor dispute in more than a decade. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees represents about 60,000 film set workers nationwide.

Wednesday’s announcement from IATSE represents a line in the sand for how long the organization will let talks continue without resolution. Negotiations will continue this week, the union said.
