I asked my genius friend @LuceCaroline who teaches labor history at UCLA what past events striking WGA writers can look to for inspiration, and she told me about the War for Warner Brothers in 1945... #WGAStrongiatse728.org/about-us/histo…@LuceCaroline The intro on the IATSE 728 page I linked above says it all. "It started as a minor labor dispute between a studio union and the producers and ended up as the bloodiest labor strike in Hollywood history...a story of murder, intrigue, bribery, collusion and Communist baiting."

if you are a member of SAG-AFTRA this should scare the shit out of you
