It's not unavoidable at all. They can agree to solidarity over key issues important to both guilds. No rule or law says they can't.

Buena Vista (Disney's distribution arm) didn't exist until 1953, and RKO Pictures still handled the bulk of Disney's distribution until 1956. So Disney never had a reason to be a signatory.

Looks like The Rock got the ball rolling and now others have jumped in. Over $15 million so far. Anyone know if this helps the WGA too? Or maybe separate donations to that union? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/business/media/clooney-streep-actors-strike-donations.html Edit: paywall bypass https://archive.li/gpOEX Aragosta fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Aug 2, 2023 |

I don't know if it's been brought up in this thread, but unrelated to the current strikes, IATSE (stagehands) narrowly avoided a strike last week. It got to the point where the producers of touring shows (at a certain tier of contracts, namely Disney, to the point that colloquially they are referred to as the Disney Tier), had refused to revisit the bargaining table. A vote was called among all touring card holders to authorize the president to call a strike. I have never seen such a high voter turnout, on anything, and such a large percentage of the membership all vote the same way. Negotiations resumed before they had finished counting votes. A deal has been reached there atleast for now. Edit: For clarification, this was specifically about touring theatrical productions like musicals and plays. However IATSE is also the labor provider for pretty much all the behind the scenes labor across the US and Canada, up to and including Hollywood. Any TV show or movie you watch will usually have the IA bug at the end. There was momentum to call for a general strike which would have been a full work stoppage.

Last I heard they were hurting for donations Seth MacFarlane recently donated $1 million to the Entertainment Community Fund which is more for everyone affected by the shutdown and not just actors. Also Mr Beast has decided to promote the new animated TMNT movie on social media due to having a part in it. Although I imagine he's not going to be invited back for any more movie cameos any time soon.

Last I heard they were hurting for donations Yeah IATSE is also in the weeds. If they aren't shooting, we aren't working. We have a "Strike Fund" that is rapidly being depleted. Even though we didn't strike, the guys aren't working, and we don't have big name stagehands to start funds for us. There are a lot of secondary and tertiary people also being affected by what's going on.

Losing 1.8 million subs is good, right? There were 4 million people who were subscribed to both HBO Max and Discovery+. When you merge the two services, you start out 4 million in the hole, so if they lost only 1.8 million that means they gained 2.2 million new people elsewhere.
