This applies to all the industry guilds. Even more so than in the past, in recent years, I have talked to many people who have lost their insurance, come close to losing insurance, or who have had to exit Hollywood entirely, because they could not make rent or pay bills.

A relevant point that may seem like inside baseball, but could have major implications for the #writersstrike: DGA usually goes first in negotiations with studios. This time they let the WGA go first, because I think the DGA also sees the existential threats to their membership+

I have covered a number of strikes/near strikes in Hollywood & I think other guilds — DGA & SAG — ending up on picket lines is quite possible this cycle. overwhelming yes votes on strike authorizations from WGA this year & IATSE last year, those were v revealing #writersstrike
