Want to blow up the studios, fast? The WGA and SAG/AFTRA should put together their jointly-approved ideal contract terms, WITHOUT any input at all from the studios, their ABSOLUTE WISH-LIST OF EVERYTHING THEY WANT -- and then announce a waiver that will immediately allow their members to work for any independent film or television producer who honors said ideal terms. Audience demand is there, theaters will need product, and large and small internet entrepreneurs will find a way to bypass the studios entirely and find ways deliver films and shows made under these ideal contract terms to paying customers. Time to show the studios they don't have the power that they think they do.

Love that SAG-AFTRA joined the fight, so important for the fight for all workers - stay strong!
