I'm going to tweet out a bunch of fliers for some of our upcoming themed picketing days at Universal, but before I do, I want to address the idea that because writers are planning themed picketing days or smiling as we picket, this is somehow a big party and we're having a blast.
We are not. We would much rather be in writers' rooms or in front of our computers typing away than we would be walking on a picket line. Writers are a sedentary bunch, and many are introverts, meaning that making conversation every day is taxing and challenging for them.
We did not *want* to strike. We wanted a fair contract. We wanted to have reasonable counter offers to the proposals made by our negotiating committee, not silence and a refusal to even engage with our proposals.
