    “Everyone’s focus is to keep 500 people employed,” a source told Variety, referring to the show’s large non-WGA crew.

    Okay then do it, it’s not like you don’t have the cash.

      It only has one writer, but they’re still a union writer. It also has WGA members performing, which they have the right to do under union rules, but it violates the spirit of the strike.

            Not allowing WGA union members to work on a show that employs a fellow striking member seems pretty straight forward to me. Even if that work is not a writing role covered by the union. This isn’t about the separate but related SAG-AFTRA strike.

              They’re going on with the show without the writer. I assume the producers will do their best to write copy. They’re being scabs, but they’re not violating any union contracts. It sucks, but they’re operating, scummily, within the rules.
