Carl Icahn Now Wants ALL Of Lionsgate
In The Real World …
“Report: Some People have been out of work for many months and are in the brink of financial ruin
and all we get is inane spin from these clown rags”
Oh, I saw these lies earlier today, as well. I always read the trades, then I get on here to get the REAL story. Thanks, Nikki!
Regardless, the real story is that runaway production is killing us here in So Cal. This should be the number one issue for the Hollywood unions but they are ignoring it. At the end of the day when all the work leaves California and there are no jobs left, the contract will not matter.
Where is the real news on how many of us BTL Union Workers are fighting to survive-to keep our Health Care and actually feel good about this
fake and Fucked up Business-
IATSE VOTES NO on the “tentative contract” NO on 400hours.com
That is a story !
How the Union SUcks and the Producers keep all the money and then claim the industry is in BAD SHAPE-
Cut your profits pigs !
Does anyone still work at the trades anymore? I thought they both folded already… whatever…SNORE… the work left Cali a looooong time ago…. not sure this ranks high on DC’s “to do” list… time to hunker down before the Cali tax hits 10% (which is coming, people…).
