 > They aren't asking for higher wages.  They are asking for the fair

 compensation from their work that is sold/distributed through other

 mediums.  The producers receive the profit from all the mediums.  Why

 shouldn't the writer's get their due?

 

 Carol responded:

 
I'm not saying that the writers shouldn't get their due, only that

 they are keeping others from working--actors, directors, film crews.


Kemper now:
You are suggesting that fault lies with the WGA.  Why is it not the producers who are keeping others from work?


Carol cont.:
Even the caterers and hairstylists suffered as a result of the

 writers' strike causing the Golden Globes to be a nonevent. And the

 writers themselves can't even write. They're being controlled by the

 union. How fair is that? 

Kemper now:
The union fights for the creative rights of the writers.
Writers can break the picket lines if they choose.  As they haven't, it suggests they are choosing to stand up for what they feel is fair and right.


Carol cont.:
 ...The writers' strike, however, is going on and on, with no end in

 sight, regardless of how many people, including the writers

 themselves, are suffering as a result.

 

 Enough is enough. It's time, IMO, to negotiate.

 

Kemper now:
Rights and freedoms are never given freely without a fight of some kind.
