Did I miss something about the strikes or is it just because of how long it's been going on. Still trying to tweak my subscriptions to keep on top of news...

Actors joined the strike this weekend, so a lot of production has ground to a halt now.

Oooh that's great news!

Not really, all of the supporting crew is getting shafted this way. They never made actor (or writer) salaries and are pretty much unemployed at the moment because most of them work on a gig basis... I get that the writers and actors have the right to strike but it sucks for more people than just the studios.

Sounds like they should join the strike then. Unless your solution is for everyone to get screwed equally.

The writers have been striking and now the actors guild is striking, too.
