Office-Mates Explain Why They’re On Strike
By Jon Costantino: 2007-11-07 13:55:21
Admit it, you don’t really know why the writers are on strike. For the most part people have been throwing around terms and figures, but it doesn’t really explain why you won’t be seeing a Heroes spin-off or why The Daily Show is in re-runs (even as well as us kids here at TV Blend have reported on it). Well, leave it to the phony-drones of Dunder Mifflin to put it in terms average humans can understand.
On the website United Hollywood, a video of writer/showrunner Greg Daniels and others from The Office are shown on the picket line and lay out the points that are at the center of the Writers Guild strike. They also mention that Steve Carrel is not working currently, and is not crossing the picket line (they show his “Michael Scott” trailer with the sign “Proud Member of the WGA on the door). In under three minutes, they explain some of the writing they have done that NBC has not compensated them for. They also point out the legal language that the network is using to make sure they don’t get paid. The video shows the dedication the writers (some of whom are also part of the show's cast) have to this strike. It seems they know the effect it has on the viewers, and Daniels even points out that he’s “picketing to shut down our own show,” which highlights their own attachment to the productions. But when you hear about the work they put into just the website portion of The Office, you can’t help but sympathize with them. Check out the video for yourself: RELATED: writers strike, nbc, the office
