actors *eyeroll*

ACTRA - PPPHHHFFFTTTT!!!!! c'mon people... i mean, i've been in the 'biz' for lack of a better term, for 13 years... for actors to strike - yet again - infuriates me! i work on set for 16+ hours a day, making shit money...while actors sit pretty in the trailer, until needed, and make 3 times+ as much as i do! for y'all to do this, AGAIN, is massively hurting our industry. over 80% of the crews are not working... people with families to support - all because you want more money...get over it. we all need more money. think ahead...you're fighting for something that, if you get it, won't matter anyway because no one will want to shoot/work here. you're only hurting yourselves - not to mention the thousands of people you've put out of work for 2 months now. thanks...*eyeroll* i would say i work about 110 hours a week... not raking in the 'big' dough...you, work for a minimum of 8 hours a day - and if you go over 8, are making time and a half...! i have to work 14 hours a day before i begin to go into time and a half! but i don't complain - it's work and we should be thankful that we're working. just so you know... if i can't find a job because 'hollywood north' is no more - i'm blaming you. if i have to sit at home and watch another episode of maury and 'i've tested 10 men with dna tests' - i'm blaming you. if i have to buy anymore groceries at the dollar store because that's all i can afford - i'm blaming you...and you better believe, if the time comes, when we do eventually get back to work...and you're lucking enough to have me on set as an AD...if you ask me to get you a coffee/tea...or something from craft - i'd be thinking to myself...do i really want to eat/drink this? - go ahead...i dare ya... fyi - only applies to actra members - yer safe sag...for now that is.... mwah ah ah
