I have a question? On many of the blogs people are getting angry at crew members just for mentioning that they are concerned about the loss of their jobs and possibly their homes and retirement accounts over this strike. So many people don’t seem to understand that IATSE members are forbidden by contract from joining in and risk losing their jobs forever (even after the writers go back to work) for doing so. They are also ineligible for unemployment if they walk away from their jobs. My questions are A. What are these people realistically supposed to do when their hands are tied?
B. Are the people who can’t understand this predicament mean, selfish or just really stupid? I’d really, really like to know how someone could be so callous.
