    8. Megathread for news & discussion about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in Hollywood

      topics about the strike are becoming one of the most common things in ~movies. for example, compare:

      https://tildes.net/~movies?order=new

      https://tildes.net/~movies?tag=strikes&order=new

      as we do with other frequent topics, a megathread helps consolidate the discussion, making it easier for people interested in the topic to talk about it, and easier to discuss small or minor updates that may not warrant a full topic of their own.

      (it also makes it easier for people not interested in the topic to ignore it - because they only need to ignore a single post, rather than a topic tag)

      This question is inspired by the university of Michigan's grad student union's announcement that it will strike this week. As noted in the university's response Michigan state law prohibits state employees from striking and GEO's contract with UofM (signed in April) has a clause that prohibits work stoppages.

      Are strikes performed in violation of the law (state or otherwise) or a contract justified? Why or why not?
