We're getting close to the The Animation Guild negotiation deadline, should they go on strike?

[Eldorado]

I think they should. Maybe then, studios will realize how passionate people see animation, and when their shows currently in production are thrown off I'd like to see them try to work their way around it.

 

[Edward Joseph]

Considering how they’ve been treated, I say they should go for it.

 

[SpecialColorfull]

The real answer they shoul DO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

 

[JMTV]

Abso-FLIPPIN'-lutley!

That is all.

If Zaslov's treatment of the Looney Tunes franchise is any indication, most definitely.

 

[Asa]

YES! So much YES!

I bet the voice actors, writers, producers, and directors from all walks of life will support something like this.

This needs to be a documentary.

OH GOD THIS REALLY HAS TO HAPPEN NOW

And don't forget Cartoon Network back catalog that was being removed from Max as well.

 

[John Pannozzi]

If the studios don't give into (most of) their demands, then sure.

FWIW, the recent negotiations with IASTE went off without a strike, so I dunno how this will shake out...

 

[ThePharaohZ]

Do you even have to ask? With how badly animation has been treated these past few years, it's now or never.

 

[Perla Magica]

Yes! Absolutely yes! They really should go for it!

 

[Moe]

Low pay? awful residual payment? lousy benefit? no bonus? Sure, they likely go on strike.

If it is related to media preservation, IP, closure of cable channel, studio's poor treatment of animation and others are not related to career? Unlikely, it is not part of their goal, especially if studios fund the projects with their money, so they have no say and it would derail the strike that where workers want better pay and better benefits.

Still, what the executives did to their talent is still crappy regardless.

Why is this even a question? Heck yeah!
