Im sure its long overdue and very much heard and talked about: The Writers Strike.
To me the writers are like peasants, they are the ones who work the hardest, sweat the most but being paid one of the least.( but im not sure if they really earn that little as so proclaimed)
On another hand, they are the easily replaceable people – “if ur’re not willing to take this much for the script that you’re writing, I can always find an alternative script writer who is willing to accept this pay”
But actors on the other hand are not so easily replaceable, lets take a local example” remember a favorite Chinese serial “Don’t worry, be happy, 敢敢做个开心人”

It revolves around Lao Hero, a petrol kiosk owner-turned-restaurant owner, his domineering wife and two daughters. Others like Lobang King - Ah Bee Chew Chor Meng taxi driver Huang Wenyong, 黄金来 and Ms Complain Queen.
After season 1, quan yi feng went to quarrel with someone and was replaced, thou the replacement wasnt bad at all, the show just dosen’t seem as nice as before.
In US’s case, all the alternatives have been used up and now they are ganging up against the employers.
Just like a glamorized factory worker.
