According to the BLS, the strike affects about 4,000 workers. Insofar as "traditional leftists" think in the millions, 4k ain't bupkes. And, you know, they work with words, not things. Some of them make good money, and those that don't can always go to law school. And Hollywood is a debased place that fills our heads with false consciousness anyway. So fuck 'em.
I don't believe any of that, and really hope the writers win - but what would the upshot be for the broader class struggle?
