I have been following this a bit today as things unfolded online. Any thoughts as to why Variety and Deadline seemed to be pushing the story initially as “Strike is over, Union won!”, when so many Union workers almost immediately panned it as DOA? Are the media outlets in the pockets of producers, or were they misled by Union Leadership?
My Union (Mental Health workers at Kaiser) is currently voting on a strike authorization. My impression is that the Union leadership is more radical (pro-strike) than the membership, though we may well vote fir our third strike in five years. But I am interested in why (if indeed the case) the leadership of the ISTSE seems to be more conservative than it’s membership?
