After I posted what I just posted, I came across this video which makes a lot of the same points. This is from the WGA General Meeting of a week ago Thursday. A writer named Howard Gould, who's a member of the Negotiating Committee, explains in a little more than three minutes how he came to see the necessity of this strike.
His speech came a little late in the proceedings. A lot of members had left by then, which is why you'll see a lot of empty chairs. But those of us who were still there gave Howard a standing-o because what he said seemed just so right.
