The ongoing Labor standoff is damaging the industry. It's time to resume bargaining. The entertainment industry is reputed to be recession-proof, but in the current downturn even Hollywood isn't firing on all cylinders. It's still mired in the Labor turmoil that began when the Writers Guild of America walked out in November. Although that strike ended in February , the studios have yet to reach agreement with the Screen Actors Guild, whose Contract expired in June . That has led studios to delay production on some films that they can't afford to have interrupted by a work stoppage. Veteran crew members complain that there's so little work in the pipeline, they don't know how long they'll be unemployed after their current jobs wrap. ...

You hate to see this kind of shit . For the better part of 3 decades, unions have been taking a beating from conservatives whose primary accusation has been corruption - that the union members' dues often went to enrich union officials and their familes rather than to union business. It was a telling charge because it was so often true, and it has taken years for the Labor Movement to clean up its image (which it still hasn't quite succeeded in doing) and just at the moment when it seems to be regaining some of its prestige, some jackass Labor leader has to go and pull something like this. The Los Angeles-based union, which represents low-wage caregivers, also spent nearly $300,000 last year on a Four Seasons Resorts golf tournament, a Beverly Hills cigar club, restaurants such as Morton's steakhouse and a consulting Contract with the William Morris Agency, the Hollywood talent shop, records show. In addition, the union paid six figures to a video firm whose principals include a former union employee. And a now-defunct minor league basketball team coached by the president's brother-in-law received $16,000 for what the union described as public relations, according to the union's U.S. Labor Department filings and interviews. read more ...
