I'm sorry but the IA and 399 crews regularly work in this heat and we do it all day long. We work in the rain, snow, freezing cold, and dead of night without complaining. The writers want to be on set? This is your first taste - earn the respect of the crew that decided to support you by not to crossing the lines. Lest you forget, they were actually responsible for shutting down this town; it was never going to happen with writers alone. Yet the WGA continues to wax poetic about their similarities to labor movements in history while conveniently ignoring that their style of picketing is merely a costume party homage to what they think it might have looked like. Let's call it what it is, the "Brunch Picket" - only half days, never when it's too hot or chance of rain, and let's throw in plenty of 3 day weekends.
