Braved the heat to do a special picket at Warners for the series, #Supernatural! Met with several members in my #AAPI writers group (aka A-Game)! So… much… fun!! 😃#wgastrike #sagaftrastrike #writing #film #tv #fairpay

Let's measure public sector workers' productivity against that of politicians - who've had 10 pay rises in the last 13 years - shall we?
I'm sure you've realised that's a rhetorical question, since George Osborne imposed the public sector pay frieze in *checks notes* 2010. 🤬

When I complained to an acquaintance about gettng a "raise" that is only a fraction of inflation, she said, "Oh, so they decreased your pay."

Oof. Indeed they did.

But wait! Why should studios and networks have to pay actors just to audition? Isn't that asking too much?

This is where the actors' union can take a page from other labor movements:

**Creative work is still work. It takes up time you could otherwise spend earning money.**

#TaviGevison lays out the economic argument for paying actors so beautifully and without vitriol toward those who have profited the most from our #labor.

Spotify is raising their premium subscription fee. And they’re doing it for the wrong reasons. I went ahead and edited their explanation for integrity.

The studios have been chasing the illusion of hypergrowth and disruption for too long, and now the consequences are being felt by the workers. #FairPay #IndustryGrowth #HollywoodStrike #UnionUnite #FightForFairness http://www.techmeme.com/230723/p5#a230723p5

Create legal requirements for employers to increase worker's pay each year.

I know these petitions just get swept aside by the govt, but enough signatures might at least start a wider conversation.

When I leave feedback for copywriters up for their annual review, against local culture, I can say, "This person deserves a HUGE RAISE" because I'm American and all we care about is money.

I had no idea actors make so little from streaming. A bunch of actors are sharing their residuals and a lot of them are like 30 cents or less. An Orange is the New Black actor got $27.30 for overseas residuals. 😱 A friend said yesterday she doesn't feel sorry for actors since they all make tons of money but I think only a tiny fraction are in that category. Bob Iger needs to STFU. #SAG #ActorsStrike #FairPay https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/working-actors-sharing-actually-residuals-161845845.html

This is such a fantastic response to Disney CEO Bob Iger

That's about as close as you're going to get to booing inside Westminster Abbey on an anniversary with such profound importance for us all. Well, not *quite* all. 🤬
From Polly Toynbee on the other place:
"Interesting. Here in Westminster abbey for the NHS 75th loud claps for Keir Starmer walking in, but bare smattering and much silence for Sunak. "

@ChrisMayLA6 From an interview with Steve Barclay on GMB:
"- What about reaching a pay settlement with doctors?
- We've reached one with porters.
- Ok, but what about doctors?
- There needs to be movement on both sides.
- Have you moved?
- I won't negotiate on public.
- So what's your plan?
- We've introduced doctor apprenticeships"
So yeah, "plan" is *not* the word I'd use.
