I don't like unions. I could go into a big rant, but I won't. Let me put it this way - I've never belonged to a union and that has allowed me to become far more successful than people who have.

I don't agree with striking unless it's a health and safety issue. None of those writers looks like they are starving and if they were... they should go get a new job.
There are a whole lot of people who work harder than writing for a lot less money.

But the thing is they were quite happy to sell their writing the first time, it then becomes property of someone else who can do what they like with it.

If you sold your car to a guy, and this guy went and resold the car for a higher price, you couldn't jump up and down demanding more money.
Well, you could, but you wouldn't get it.
