      They’re not demanding the crew members hand over their wages to actors, they’re demanding the executives who take home tens of millions of dollars a year stop trying to ruthlessly fuck them out of every cent…

          As a union film crew member, I get paid a tiny bit.

          “Boo-hoo. Now do Amazon workers”. Kind of makes it difficult to discuss doesn’t it?

          Forgive me if I get a bit bitter

          You can get as bitter as you want, just direct it at the people who pay you as little as possible so they can pocket more themselves, not people who are slightly less exploited than you are.

            Agree with you, why be a crab in a bucket. You should support others trying to get up, not cry ‘it should be me!’. Change takes time and everybody can’t be helped at once. Also we need to tar and feather some greedy bastards

      Great idea! If members of the working class fight amongst each other, it’s a great way to get the people reaping the profits to listen.

      You’re directly serving the studios by acting like this. You could have said something like “This is awful, and the actors even do better than crew members, it goes all the way down.” Instead you decided you should attack the other people who can’t make rent.

      It’s not crew vs actor. It’s the whole Hollywood working class vs executives who pander to Wall Street and VCs.
