That's OK, writers have got thick skins.
Some of the strikers are going on as if their worlds will fall apart unless they get paid a bit more (I think the current issue is about Internet promotion - of the films they have written). As if writing screenplays is all they can do with no possibility of getting a blue collar job to support themselves while they try and create entertainment.
Though since many of them are part of a money-drenched and horribly commercial system anyway, it stands to reason that they are caught up in the Hollywood way of thinking, what with all that cash flying about.
It's always encouraging when the 'it's not what you know, it's who you know' attitude gets smashed to bits by successful indie productions.
