Labor's Only Real
Weapon
The
Writers' Strike Continues
By DAVID MACARAY
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is
already into the twelfth week of its strike against the
Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP),
They've been out since November 5. That's one hellaciously
long time to be out of work, even for a cause you believe in,
and even when you know your old job will be waiting for you.
Ask anyone who's ever hit the
bricks, and they'll tell you that a strike, particularly a long
one, can be a life-altering experience. In truth, no matter
how critical the issues that precipitated the walkout or how
committed the union membership that did the walking, anything
beyond 5 or 6 weeks is enough to put you in a monumental funk.
If the Writers hold out for another month or two, things could
get very complicated.
In no way is this meant to
second-guess the WGA's agenda or tactics. The WGA and its membership
know what they are doing. Just as no one on the outside can
look into a marriage and make an accurate assessment of its merits
or viability, no one on the outside can observe the workings
of a labor union and fully appreciate the mindset that led to
calling a strike.
To assess the factors that
contribute to a strike, you have to be on the inside. Without
that unique perspective, you really have nothing meaningful to
say about it. Which is why it's so silly to hear all these third-parties
and "informed observers" weighing in with their sage
advice about what should or shouldn't happen next.
Some good news for the WGA:
It was announced on January 22 that the two sides are getting
back together for "informal talks," after the AMPTP
had abruptly broken off negotiations several weeks ago. Auspiciously,
these talks will occur against the backdrop of the Directors
Guild of America (DGA) tentatively accepting a 3-year contract
from the AMPTP, even though its contract wasn't due to expire
until June 30.
Almost certainly, there will
be pressure on the WGA to use the Directors' deal as impetus
for a settlement of their own. Among the provisions included
in the new contract, the AMPTP gave the DGA a larger share of
New Media markets, which was a key demand of the WGA, and a critical
sticking point in their negotiations.
Specifically, the DGA was given
jurisdiction (with certain exemptions) over material that is
produced specifically for the Internet, along with a 100 percent
increase in residuals for downloads of TV shows, and an 80 percent
increase for downloads of movies. Progress was also made in
the area of "ad-supported" content, such as prime-time
TV shows that are streamed on TV websites, and there was "sunset
language" included which permits the parties to reassess
New Media markets once the contract expires.
Again, it's too early to know
how good the Directors' contract really is. Improvements were
made to several areas of their existing agreement, and there
were no rollbacks, which are definite pluses. But even assuming
the WGA gets a similar offer from the AMPTP, it's hard to say
if it will be enough to end the strike. After all, the WGA's
needs and concerns aren't necessarily the same as the DGA's (whose
13,400 members include directors, assistant directors and production
managers). While similar in some ways, they are different Guilds,
with different agendas.
In any event, there's little
doubt that the AMPTP will attempt to use the DGA's contract as
a means of stampeding the Writers toward a settlement. The Producers
know that news of the agreement will cause some of the rank-and-file
to become antsy, and are aware that Hollywood has a history of
"pattern bargaining" (where the first contract out
of the blocks becomes a template for those that follow).
But there's a curious phenomenon
that occurs during long strikes. Put simply: The longer the
membership stays out, the greater the risk of the situation metastasizing
from "strike" into "siege." Once a certain
point is reached, a small but hardcore segment of the membership
tends to slip into what can be called a "siege mentality."
They take the view that because they've already been out so
long, suffered so many hardships and made so many sacrifices,
only a "Cadillac" contract will be enough to bring
them back.
Settling for terms that fall
significantly short of those included in the union's original
agenda will be interpreted as capitulation. It will elicit rage.
It will be taken as evidence that the whole goddamn endeavor
was a waste of time and money. The only thing that will get
this militant minority to vote to return to work is for management
to give them pretty much everything they asked for, which, of
course, ain't going to happen.
It's a tricky situation for
the union, one dripping with irony. When going out on strike,
the union leadership always counts on the full commitment of
the membership. Frankly, they hope that the rank-and-file hangs
tough and doesn't cave. So when a vocal, hardcore segment of
that membership publicly challenges the leadership's own level
of "commitment" by questioning its willingness to continue
to fight for what it set out to achieve, it can get a bit dicey.
Coincidentally, one of the
shortest and one of the longest strikes in U.S. history both
occurred in Southern California. The shortest one took place
in 1987 and involved the very same Directors Guild of America.
The DGA's strike (the first and only strike in their 63-year
history) lasted a grand total of 15 minutes, literally.
According to reports, the union negotiators had barely left
the room before they were called back, and the parties reached
an agreement.
And one of the longest strikes
in history was the one called by the LA Newspaper Guild against
the old Herald Examiner newspaper, the former daily rival
of the Los Angeles Times. The union walked out in December,
1967, and didn't settle until March of 1977. They were out just
a few months short of 10 years. Talk about a "siege mentality."
It's impossible, really, to
wrap your mind around a 10-year strike. There's simply no perspective
in which to place it, no point of reference. What does it mean
to be on strike for 10 years?? Obviously, everybody has found
new jobs, and new union officers have been elected. But were
the members still receiving strike benefits? Were people still
picketing? Were union and company officials meeting regularly
. . . for a whole decade? Needless to say, the strike badly
crippled both the workforce and the newspaper, neither of which
fully recovered.
The key thing to remember about
strikes, even ones that end badly, is that they are labor's only
available weapon. They're the only bullet in the chamber. While
boycotts and public relations campaigns have been known to work,
their successes are largely hit-or-miss; plus, they are ventures
that require organizational skills and funding. Strikes are
the more attractive tactic. Besides being user-friendly, they
hit the company immediately where it hurts most-in the pocketbook.
Another thing to remember about
strikes: If they weren't labor's most effective weapon, management
wouldn't dread them so much.

was president and chief contract negotiator of the Assn. of Western
Pulp and Paper Workers, Local 672, from 1989 to 2000. He can
