Well said, young writer! I was able to build a career and raise a family (one might argue, badly, since my son decided to become a writer) but the industry I worked in has changed so dramatically that the kind of upward mobility I could aspire to has become almost impossible. If this strike doesn't succeed, every union will join ours in a downward spiral. So fists up, pencils down, LA is a union town!

Full support here, Will. The magic sentence in your piece for me is “ This goes for every worker in every industry, if they could replace you they would.” Welcome to the capitalist world where PROFIT is master of the land and the worker be damned.

STRIKE! ✊🏻
