Heard on the picket line, Day 2
UNIVERSAL: We can do the Jurassic Park ride later
Apparently, there was a Teamster present who just happened to be visiting from out of state with his wife. Somehow he stumbled across the shoot and told his wife he wanted to join the picket line. She basically said, "Are you crazy?" And he answered something like, "We're Teamsters, that's what we do."

Genesee gate. Drew Carey sent us out ten pizzas today. As one writer put it, "The man gave up half his lunch for us!"
Steve Carell informed NBC he is unable to report to work because he is suffering from “enlarged balls.”
It was a while before I could appreciate him, but that kinda makes me love him.

Mad love for the Teamsters.

The Teamsters were also awesome during the last SAG strike a few years ago. Bless 'em.
Apparently a Teamster delivering milk refused to cross the picket line at Sony and made folks inside come out and get the milk.
What confounds me, though, is when the supermarkets had a strike, they still had goods delivered so did the Teamsters ignore their picket lines?

This is brilliant. Whedonesque has something on a possibly planned strike with the Mutant Enemy people - is that the thing Tim made reference to above, or is that something different? I think that would get an audience outside of fandom.

From what I remember, Teamsters did not cross the supermarket workers' picket lines, but they did deliver food/goods to the parking lots. Management and/or scabs had to unload the trucks. Kind of like that milk incident.

How? Outside fandom and the industry, who else has ever heard of Mutant Enemy?
I'd imagine they could get a press person or two to cover it. It's not the world, but it's probably better than, say, that NYT article Joss was talking about the other day. Which is a start.
I wish I could help in some way. I feel an odd solidarity. I think that's why the NYT hit piece was so irritating to me.
Maybe the writer was just pissy that all his content is online and he's getting paid the same.
I think. Maybe someone should ask.
