Congratulations. Capitalism and greed work! Good for you. You think that labor unions work outside of capitalism and greed? Nope. They're part of the machine.

No, we withheld work from our own bosses in an act of labor solidarity. That has nothing to do with capitalism. The greed was on the part of members of AMPTP (the studios, producers, etc.). They felt like they could re-sell our work and pay us - nothing! Unions are strongest in socialist countries. I see where you're going with that, but the analogy falls apart in several ways.

Huh? What picket line would we cross to add a signature to our own solidarity signs? There are about 25 of those signs and they were signed at labor actions outside the studios and AMPTP. In other words - our own picket lines!
