Good for them, as long as the rank-and-file are satisfied with the gains they’ve made, they deserve to live out from under the umbrella of economic precarity two-wolves-2

two-wolves-1 man, I wish they could have bled these lich-beings dry sicko-wistful

There's power in a union! One question I've always had is, why do entertainment industry unions like SAG and WGA call themselves "guilds" instead of "unions"?

They’re made up of theater kids

Woohoo!

I hope they got everything they wanted and a bit more.

Haven't seen them yet but the rumor is that people are happy

Doesn't SAG need to reach a deal too before the production of slop can resume?

Edit: Ah ok, the article mentions that resolution for SAG is expected pretty soon too now. So, lots to potentially celebrate here, assuming the terms are as good as the negotiating team seems to think.

Ofc, but the WGA deal could provide a framework for the resolution of the SAG strike, depending on the terms
