    Good. Labor movements are most successful when solidarity is in play. What I’d really like to see is the directors join them - that segment of the industry has considerably more clout than the talent. Cherry on top would be producers joining in, but I don’t see that happening unless they also have exposure as celebrities (lookin’ at you, Affleck… the strike already shut down Unstoppable, so you might as well jump onto the picket line and show your support - would get you good press).
