Sorry, but we're not going to make shitty deals to be in "solidarity" with workers who take it up the ass, giggle happily, and beg for more. Grow a damn backbone already.

One of the companies is pretty irrelevant, but the other is quite high profile. People want to work and the WGA is playing Russian Roulette with these interim agreements.
