STRIKE OVER: Hollywood Back To Work!
Deadline Hollywood Daily ^ | Feb 12, 2008 | not specified

Posted on 02/12/2008 8:16:44 PM PST by RDTF

On Tuesday, members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th. The strike is over.

Writing can resume immediately. If you were employed when the strike began, you should plan to report to work on Wednesday. If you're not employed at an office or other work site, call or e-mail your employer that you are resuming work. If you have been told not to report to work or resume your services, we recommend that you still notify your employer in writing of your availability to do so. Questions concerning return-to-work issues should be directed to the WGAW legal department or the WGAE’s assistant executive director.

Massive depression setting in. Hollyweird’s products suck whether there are writers or not. Hollyweird has truly lived down to its predicted potential as “the great wasteland”!

Massive depression setting in.

Not among all the line employees and blue collar workers who were put out of work by this strike. They are and their families are pretty happy.

DARN! I was hoping they might actually put on something entertaining - like reruns from the 80s.

Well, *most* books are good. I’m pretty sure burning through a shelf of manga at the local Borders isn’t as intellectually valuable as watching an episode of Nova.

With the news that Joel Surnow has quit “24”, who cares! They can all go back on strike and stay on strike for all I care.

True. There are some programs worth watching.

In fact, “TV Worth Watching” would probably make a good ping list for someone to create.
