    Curtains for the guilds - Los Angeles Times

    Interesting read, especially the portion where they discuss writers defecting and going "financial core" in the guild in order to get back to work before the strike is over.

    If these predictions are accurate, its going to get much, much worse before it gets better for the viewing public.

    Quoted: Here's how the grim screenplay might read: The WGA and AMPTP break off negotiations on Friday, Dec. 7, 2007, a day that will live in infamy. The AMPTP reaches an agreement with the much less militant Directors Guild of America in January 2008. Responding to the deal with the DGA, the WGA and the equally activist Screen Actors Guild band together and declare all-out war against the studios in February. The two guilds plan a massive unified labor action to bring Hollywood to its knees on June 30, 2008, the day the SAG contract expires.
