I don't know if that's what's happening. I disagree with the decision but I can understand wanting to continue to give your non-striking employees work.
Everyone wants to do that. Drew is not somehow unique in this. But the collective agreement of the union is that the strike is the necessary next step to getting the contract they need.
Acting like she's the only person who cares about the people being put out of work is self-aggrandizing bullshit designed to distract you from her selflessness.
(And at the end of the day, it's the AMPTP that are to blame for the harm to those workers. They could give up the tiniest sliver of their annual income (its less than half a percent for each of the big five) and end the strike tomorrow.)
I get what you’re saying, but there must be some other way to do this that’s not so… shitty.
I mentioned it in a different comment thread, I think starting a similar podcast with the same non-union crew would be the way to go, especially for Bill Maher who has experience running a podcast
How would running a podcast help the crew members whose experience is purely related to the visual side?
A video podcast?
Or just donate the money made from the podcast.
Yeah, a video podcast, with the same crew from his show serving as the crew for the podcast.
