demonstrations, will always meet with success as long as it does not have to encounter
the same kind of terror in a stronger form.
I completely agree to be honest, how much writers get paid is sick compared to the million dolalr salary that the actors often get, when they are doing equal work.
I'm glad that the writers strike took place, as it shook the tv/film industry enough that they would seriously analyse the importance of writers.

Staff writers 2800a week.
FREELANCE MINIMUMS each script.
30min cable-12,000
60min cable 22,000
NETWORK
30min-21,500 ie: Ugly betty
60min 31,700 ie Law and order
So lets see, average crew on L&O for one season(10 months of work MIN 12 hr days in all kinds of weather and conditons
= $90-100,000
WRITER@ min rate- 4 episodes $126,800.00(maybe a month- two max of work)
And it's not that I wouldn't want to get payed when I write articles or stories, it's just that for me, writing is not all about the money.

Soon all the work will be done by chinese and indian children who will write 4 episodes for a nanocent and sign a scientology-like million year cross-generation contract for the BIG FACELESS STUDIO OF AMERICA
(B.F.S.O.A!?) Ha- ha- ha! (-_-)
What are residuals? :D and..
Does health insurance in north america suck?
