> WGA blacklists you if you scab
Someone unaffiliated with the WGA takes a job and then is ostracized? That sounds pretty evil, and it puts me firmly on the side of Hollywood.

The world is different now. Economy is global, people are trying to make a living doing something that makes them happy. Not everyone is a union member, and it’s absolutely ridiculous to extort a young professional from taking a career defining opportunity because a certain, very entitled group decides they want it even better.
Unions striking is within their right. Go for it. But it’s absolutely unacceptable to start blacklisting non-union people who don’t fall in line because the union doesn’t happen to have as much bargaining power as they would have liked.
