First of all, I think it is unlikely Leno will be expelled from the
Union. Second, I don't know what you refer to as the "real world". In
the real world that I live in the labor movement has been under
constant attack and retreat since 1981, the same interval during which
the real earnings of working class people have significantly decreased
while that of the wealthy has increased. Any where any kind of union
is able to organize and enforce discipline and make gains, working
people everywhere benefit.

And, in the "real world" of labor organizing, scabs who cross union
picket lines get a lot worse done to them than censure, a fine or even
expelled....I have a feeling whatever the WGA does, Mr. Leno will be
just fine.
