Writers Guild Staffers Threaten To Strike Against WGA

Sure to delight movie studio chiefs and producers everywhere, the striking Writers Guild of America is about to be struck by its own downtrodden employees.

The East Coast branch of the striking guild - which has been fighting Hollywood brass for two months - has been waging a behind-the-scenes war with its own unionized staff members. The angry workers claim the writers are trying to stiff them on wage increases they negotiated last year.

Whoa! What's going on with the WGA? Maybe there isn't so much difference between the WGA (or any of the guilds, for that matter) and the AMPTP, afterall. Maybe they are all really just corporations just trying to out-maneuver each other. Just like on Wall Street. American public, I think we are being sold a bill-of-goods.
