The first time we ran a room we got three writers for a heavily-serialized 43 episode order. Everyone juggled 2 or 3 scripts at a time and we rarely had more than a couple people together to break the next ep. That was TAG, but it’s the WGA’s future if we don’t fight for this

Pilots at Southwest Airlines voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. 98% turned out to vote, and *99%* voted to authorize. The union is now able to call a strike, putting pressure on Southwest to meet pilots' demands. Reskeet if you love hot union summers!!
