In support of the WGA workers here is: “Union Maid - Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie” (h/t Carol) I believe in supporting unions were ever they may be. As time goes on I’ll have more info about supporting them…
As Day Four of the strike begins, a lot of the talk on the lines and on the Net has been about the lack of negotiations. Variety is reporting that the TV showrunners are trying to use their clout to get the companies back to the bargaining table. Politico.com is saying that Schwarzenegger is finally getting involved. Nikki Finke reports some insider ideas for getting the two sides to meet. Day Three was all about the united writers and actors showing the companies that our unions are serious about negotiating. Hopefully the message found its audience.

Ronald Reagan sure busted up some good ones.

PATCO comes to mind. The nation still hasn’t recovered from that union busting fiasco.
Pete Seeger is still alive?!?! O_o
Holy shit… that dude must be 100!

Surely you see the disconnect between C&L claiming in one post to be pro-union, pro-WGA in particular, but in the previous post linking to the NBC website that features full episodes of TV shows. You know, the kind that the writers aren’t making a dime off of?
Roger Bixley @ 10:
Excuse me?
Do you have your facts correct or are you just making them up?
Union YES!
xoites defends Constitution @ 11:
To be a little more precise, if you notice the website in the previous post that C&L is linking to (if you look closely) it is C&L. NBC has no advertising and is making no money off of this clip.

Actually xoites, also pointed to is the Episodes page on the 30 Rock page on the NBC website. And there is most definitely advertising on it. But the show’s so good that it’s worth it to wade through that.
11:11 Pm Thursday BREAKING NEWS:
This is totally off subject…Bhutto was just Arrested- NO ONE is reporting it, No CCN or MSNBC, ( or cough FOX)the only report of it was on BBC or PBS at 11pm- report came in during the news, the Strikes and Marches were to start there right now- 12 Noon, so she was arrested before the Strikes were at Full Strength, I am writing to you and FDL and Media Matters, Huff post and Truthout to PLEASE cover this critical situation, as MSM is not covering at all- they wasted many hours of airtime on OJ today while Pakistan’s History hangs in the balance, it is a situation that is as dangerous as Burma….thank you
Thank you, Eigma.
Sorry, Stan. Your are correct.
My appologies to Roger Bixley as well.
C&L is in a tough spot. How can they do what they do during a writer’s strike over internet royalties and keep us informed?
You can do what i do and just watch the straight video clip.

It’s what I had to do! Tonight’s episode probably won’t be up on the NBC site until sometime after 2:00 am EST tomorow …

I’ll bet that Laura’s getting the best sex tonight that she’s had since she’s been living in our White House on that news.
amazing, i almost went with pete seger tonight. i promise, i’ll show him tomorrow.
but i figured since i did the carter sisters last night, the genres would be too close. so instead skippy’s late nite music club shows the corrs and bono singing when the stars go blue.

As a striking WGA member… it’s nice to see the support from C&L and a real treat to see Pete Seeger. There’s some video on youtube taken last year of him still playing banjo in a park somewhere… comforting that he’s still up and around.
FWIW– Reagan was not only a member of the screen actor’s guild, he was its president as well.
A WGA writer
PS- Get ready for lots of coverage following a massive rally/megapicket/concert outside Fox studios tomorrow…
All right! Great pick! Xoites, good Bragg pick as well. You probably know he wrote the new lyrics at Pete’s suggestion?
As a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a fan of both Arlo, Pete and Woody, I want to thank you for this video.
As we union members are fond of saying, “If you enjoy your weekends off , thank the Unions.”
I only wish that everyone could enjoy the benefits that union member like myself enjoy.

On a sad note, 5 years and still no contract for the Memphis Newspaper Guild and the Commercial Appeal. This week they announced they would begin a program to outsource the designer’s jobs to India. My job and the jobs of my friends and coworkers.

I couldn’t find a link to a video or mp3, but here’s the lyrics to Brian MacNeill’s “Sell Your Labour Not Your Soul”. Brian is a Scottish musician and former member of Battleship Band.
Sell Your Labour Not Your Soul
Brian McNeill
(Chorus:)
Young and old, true and bold
Sell your labour not your soul
Solidarity’s your goal - join the union
Come and listen through the land, working woman, working man
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
Black, brown or white, get ready for the fight
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
Will you stand upon your rights or will you live upon your knees
Doff your cap and look away while the bosses take their ease
Unemployment is the fear the bosses whisper in your ear
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
Short term contract when they hire makes it easier to fire
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
More efficiency’s the cry, technology’s the game
And every dividend you double - well your wages stay the same
They say the unions’ day is done and the country’s moving on
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
Aye the government knows best, private sector does the rest
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
They’ll privatise your hopes and they’ll privatise your fears
If they catch your children crying they’ll privatise their tears
We will rise, we will grow, we are stronger than we know
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
We will not be denied for we have right upon our side
Young and old, true and bold - join the union
So raise the banners high, let us all march behind
Let Scotland be the first to draw the new union line
Oh, y’don’t get me I ‘m part of the Union, ’til the day I die, ’til the day I die.
- The Strawbs
The ICE CREAM TRUCK song!
Before UNION MAID the song was known as “Red Wing.” It has a long, venerable history, and it is as American as apple pie!
