Remember folks, it's not because of the strike, it's because the people at the top don't want to pay fair wages

Not just wages, conditions too like to get paid having to sign away your likeness to be used in all future movies

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

Exactly, and I wish headlines would better reflect this. The strike is a natural outcome of studio fuckery.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

And they also want to scan actors for the studios' use.

This is 100% the fault of the studio execs who don't want their employees to have a fair wage. I can wait for my Star Trek if it means upholding the ideals that Trek stands for.

Star Trek is basically only available via streaming platforms or piracy these days.

One of the reasons studios have enjoyed such great profits on the move to streaming is because the contracts for the writers and actors cause them to get paid way, way, way less for a streamed show than with regular syndication.

Meaning the people making Star Trek are some of the ones who stand to gain the absolute most from the outcome of this strike. All power to them.

It’s a shame, but employees need to feel like they’re getting treated fairly.

I've got a million other things to catch up on, so I'll survive without new content for a few months. I suspect most of us will.

It sucks that the studio heads forced this on us, but I will stand in spirit with the striking artists for as long as it takes to make the studios see their worth.

Well, i don't want a trek run on exploitation, so here we are.

Get the studio's arse, guys.
