Cool. What about the rest of my post? My main point has been brought up several times in this thread now, by at least three different posters. Your answer to that is... silence and cherry picking everything else? Unless your assuming unanimous vote, which I doubt, this is affecting a lot of people that did not vote for it: those that voted against it, those that abstained, etc. And besides, knowing how some unions work, in all likelihood the majority of members didn't even vote, and probably didn't even know there was a vote going on. But again, I'm not contesting their right to call a strike, I'm contesting their (and every guild/union/association 's etc) right to impose that strike on everybody else - in particular those that voted against it. |
Sorry - I've been attempting to answer these while having one of the more stressful days at work in recent memory.
Luckily for me, I feel like the above writers managed to pinpoint much of this. I don't know how impossible it is to get work without being part of the Writer's Guild (I have your word to go on at this point - but I plan on researching it more when I get a chance), but if you're part of a union, you've basically agreed to go along with the majority. Otherwise the union would have no collective bargaining power with which to combat the collective bargaining power of the handful of giant corporations that run the television/movie industry.
And as always, being a lazy ass who doesn't pay attention to when a vote that will majorly impact your life is going on makes any complaints about the vote rather ignorable. Voting against it, I can see you objecting, but if you don't care enough to find out that a vote's going on, then you shouldn't care enough to object.
