Slack's grasp of what collective bargaining is and must be is rock solid. And this compasses a handful of sinecured showrunners and high-priced talent that often lack the tools or will to confront their self-interest. A union serves the whole membership. It thrives in solidarity.

During the run of “Orange Is the New Black,” Netflix’s hugely popular show, many of its cast members rose to fame—but some still had to keep their day jobs. How could a show so popular pay so little? https://t.co/tsPtdHGn6v

Helpful video on #SAGAFTRAstrike Real example: • 2022 UK annual inflation = 11.1% • Major studio only gave 4% fee “uplift” for returning actors to work on next season = 6.4% pay cut We asked for fee increase in line with inflation. They refused. And show has been a huge hit.

Back in April 2022, sat together with @Excalibah (in Newcastle after we performed #Rice @northernstage), he excitedly told me about his next play for @ActorsTouringCo: #TamboandBones. It sounded wild, powerful, funny, truth-speaking, and vital. It is ALL these things, and more.
