Not directly about the WGA strike, but it's interesting seeing the reactions here vs if this had been said by say, a tech exec about software engineers.
It's quite a bit different because tech people can go somewhere else. There won't ever be anything like an industry-wide union. I also have a hard time imagining what kind of tech company could survive a months long shutdown.
Couldn't many non-startups survive a months-long shutdown, especially if their competitors are also shutdown? For B2B, revenue is often booked quarters in advance, and salaries tend to be the largest cost-center.
