Yeppers, that’s what the Hollywood Reporter is saying, and we all know it’s always right.
WGA members have either received or are about to receive an email with the details. Nobody at TVWriter™ has gotten theirs yet, but here’s what the Reporter is telling us to expect:
the new three-year deal provides for 2% annual wage increases and a one-time 1.5% increase in employer contributions to the guild’s pension plan.
Yep, the Writers Guild of America has filed a report urging that the merger be denied, saying “The FCC should deny the proposed merger…which woulds give too much power over broadcast and cable networks. Comcast’s ability to blackout one-third of television viewers would force networks to agree to terms and rate st by Comcast, harming…programming.”
The Guild also said a hell of a lot more. You can read the entire filing here.
Remember, boys and girls, until this business is settled, TVWriter™ recommends we all close our eyes tight and send out good, healing energy to the greedy bastards who want to destroy the sandbox, making them so happy that they no longer feel the need to, you know, fuck us.
Like it says, Part 3 of what started below as, you know, Part 1 and Part 2:
