Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Love to see success stories like this, hopefully this'll kick things into motion for SAG-AFTRA's success

One thing I noticed is no one from Paramount was mentioned to be at the negotiations starting on the 20th even though they're in AMPTP, wonder why (then again a lot of other people in AMPTP wern't there but they're still pretty big so idk)

Starting on September 20, after a studio fumbled restart in August, Warner Bros Discovery’s David Zaslav, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos, NBCUniversal’s Donna Langley and Disney’s Bob Iger finally sat down directly with WGA chief negotiator Ellen Stutzman, as well as former guild presidents David Goodman and Chris Keyser and other members of the WGA Negotiating Committee in hopes of a breakthrough.

Yeah, Paramount's CEO, Bob Bakish, seems to have largely sat the strikes out, only popping up in the news once or twice to say he wanted to see them resolved. It's interesting.
