The Television Writer’s Union voted to officially strike; to stand up for themselves, their beliefs and their rights.The bottom line may be monetary, but is that a difference from anyone’s bottom line?
While most shows, whether it be a comedy, drama, late night talk show, even Saturday Night Live, have already announced they have ceased production for the duration of the strike, The Oprah Winfrey Show will continue. Ms. Oprah wasted no time in hiring “scabs”, non-union writers to work for her show during the strike.
So, Ms. Oprah, do you enjoy crossing that picket line each day to tape a show? Does that make you feel so much more important than the “commoner”? After all what do you need with job stability, a cost of living wage raise, or a health care package for yourself and dependents? Viewers must make up their own minds but a severe lack of integrity and compassion speaks for itself.

But I thought that Opra was perfect. She would never choose her own personal wealth over those that work tirelessly for her. This can’t be true.
