You clearly have no understanding of how the industry actually works and should probably do your research into a subject before commenting, or you may look like an idiot to those who know and experience the industry as professionals. Sticking up for your rights is not greedy, especially when most writers are on low incomes. Only a tiny percentage are on megabucks and long term work is not guaranteed.

i agree with you b8man01. i mean these workers should definately get fraqin payed more. i am also a huge fan of bsg. i think and know that without the writers they wouldnt have a show. they really should pay them more. they darn right deserve it. they need the money. they work their butts off.

@moeezS I'm surprised that he's supporting ANY work that is not his own.

Harlan Ellison 'it all starts with the WORD'

thats what writers do - nuff said

respect.

[earthreuniting]

I want my Battlestar Galactica!

[battlestarvfx]

Support? I don't want your support.

What the point is really and maybe I should have said this straight out is that its a bit odd that Ron will throw his support behind writers because he is a writer, but thats generally in his self interest and not for the people who do the "heavy lifting" on his show. Or at least it appeared and still appears that way.

[battlestarvfx]

What I am saying is we tried the union route and got screwed anyway. Because Ron was to "untouchable". We could never get a word with him at all. But yet most of the production crew and cast knew how things were going and we had their support for the most part. Ron just doesn't walk on water in my book really.

Try contacting the appropriate union for tips on how to organize anyway, and/or refuse to work for non-union shops and projects. Because you're accomplishing nothing here but alienating any support you might receive.
