Hollywood actors will go on strike at midnight on Thursday after talks with studios broke down, joining film and television writers who have been on picket lines since May and deepening the disruption of scores of shows and movies.

    I’d prefer to see everyone joining up and striking.

    Wages haven’t really gone up in years so they might give a little to a few workers now, but they’ll soon take it back at some point either through worse working conditions, or just plain ole sacking and hiring cheaper labour.

    Sooner everyone gets together and truely fight for better wages, working conditions, etc. Sadly I doubt I’ll see anything improve in my lifetime! 😞

    Good, and possibly to be followed in August by a big strike by UPS - I bet Netflix is glad it doesn’t mail DVDs any more! But for real, this is a start to some good momentum for the working class and I would love to see it continue.
