There is an alternative “cruel but necessary evil” forming in my mind.

Doctors hate this one quick and morally correct trick to remove bad actors from labor negotiations
Doctors may hate it, but I’ve heard that morticians love it!

The biggest corporations form what is basically a “corporation union” called the AMPTP to take part in the collective bargaining. I’m not sure how exactly is their voting procedure, but the strike will go on so long as the WGA and AMPTP don’t agree to a deal on a collective level. Now, after that contract is settled, I think (but am not sure) that members of the AMPTP and other USA corporations can provide even better contracts individually (like how a couple rail companies agreed to the sick day demands after Biden forced the bad deal through).
However they aren’t allowed to make an individual contract that doesn’t safeguard the demands agreed upon by the WGA, and they frequently issue “do not work” orders to union members about specific companies they have issues with.
I’m not from the United Stadia though, so I could be wrong about some of that.

Yes, from my understanding every single member of the WGA is striking even if they weren’t working AMPTP (which includes giants like Disney, WBD, Universal, Paramount, ViacomCBS, FOX, Netflix, Amazon and a bunch of others). They are still allowed to work in areas that don’t fall into the WGA’s representation such as personal youtube channels, podcasts or other forms of non-writing work, but they are advised to consult with the guild if the line is blurry. For example, Adam Conover is a member of the board and negotiating committee, and he is still doing his podcast since it’s mostly a self-employed interview podcast, but has directed it towards talking about the strike itself. I think they may even be allowed to direct given the DGA quick agreement, but I’m not sure how one would direct without a writer.
Edit: punishment can range between fines to outright expulsion, but it’s rare for something like that to go through because you also get known as “that shitty scab” to all your coworkers and nobody wants to be both poor and hated.

So the unions have until October to start stringing up these executives is what I hear.
