On the line with the picketers
January 12th, 2008
When I was in and around Burbank on Thursday, the strike was still quite visible. I think it’s interesting to get the story from the guys and gals on the line (I didn’t shoot this video). This is film from outside of the Disney Studio early on in the strike. The picketers are still going strong, with a presence at each entrance to the lot, and not just at Disney. Writers and their supporters can be seen at Warner Brothers, NBC, and many other places in and around town.
With the changes made to this year’s Golden Globes and the awkward People’s Choice Awards, the effects of the strike are only starting to manifest. We’ll have to wait and see if the two sides can come to an agreement before the Oscars on February 24th.
