How to say "We have no leverage at all in our strike and are all going to get fired" without saying it.
I fully agree that a few increasingly big media companies is an issue. But, people have been saying that for years now and where was the WGA (and SAG) then? Actively supporting those companies because they approved of the company's messaging. And the groups who have been trying to create alternatives, are the WGA and SAG going to join them? No way.
That said, it would be very easy for the WGA and SAG to bust up this situation right now, if they actually wanted to do some work. They have basically everyone in Hollywood short of the producers in those unions. You want to show how unnecessary and overburdening the companies are? Go make something amazing on your own to rub in the face of Disney, Netflix, etc. Except you won't, because that's too much work and because you are all are as big if not a bigger problem than the companies because you insist everything follows your crappy message.
