The times are approximate.
We are the victims here.
We are being victimized by a very greedy entity.
Fran Drescher on the WGA picket line outside Paramount lot on May 8Deadline
I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us.
I cannot believe it, quite frankly, how far apart we are on so many things.
They stand on the wrong side of history at this very moment.
We stand in solidarity in unprecedented unity.
You cannot keep being dwindled and marginalized and disrespected and dishonored.
This is a moment in history that is a moment of truth.
If we dont stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble.
We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines.
And big business, who cares more about Wall Street than you and your family.
Most Americans dont have more than $500 in an emergency.
This is a very big deal that weighed heavy on us.
But at some point, you have to say, No.
Were not going to take this anymore.
You people are crazy.
Why are you doing this?
Privately, they all say Were the center of the wheel.
Everybody else tinkers around our industry.
But actions speak louder than words.
But there was nothing there.
And we made the hard decision that we tell you today, this is major.
Its really serious, and its going to impact every single person that is inlabor.
What are we doing?
Moving furniture around on the Titanic?
So the jig is up,AMPTP.
You have to wake up and smell the coffee.
We are labor and we stand tall and demand respect and to be honored for our contribution.
You share the wealth because you cannot exist without us.
