Say, “Bobofot” let me know when you want a pay increase, I’m sure the “Union Writers” will back you up. That’s the problem with this country,…Ha-ray for ME, and shit on any one else. Unions are the reason any of us make good wages…even company employees. Wise up everyone!!
Ellen,….kiss my Union ass!

I say good for Ellen! I previously worked for the State and was forced in a union. I didn’t agree with MOST of the union’s “demands” and ways about getting things. At some point there was talk of a strike and there was no f*cking way that I was going join a strike. If I even miss one day of pay, I will be behind on my bills. I was proudly going to be a “scab”. Luckily, we never had to strike and I now happily work for a private company that doesn’t have a union.

Now, of course, it’s a different story with celebrities. They can pay their bills and THEN some if they miss work. BUT – I agree with Ellen, she’s not disappointing her audience. People DO travel to see her show. Of course, they can probably enjoy themselves doing other things, but the point to their trip may have been to see Ellen. I’d be angry if she cancelled her show.

Hey Zip,

That was interesting. You even threw in some Martin Gore. Nice touch.

It’s good to see so many people supporting the strikers.

There’s a misconception that people in this line of work are rolling in dough, when really they’re treated as labor.

This IS newsworthy if you’re a friend of labor!!
