Vocab Quiz
There is a writer strike in Hollywood; it has been going on for about a month now. As writers for popular television shows try to reach a pinnacle in their career they are denied higher wages and are underpaid for their industry. Producers for shows have salaries up to 5 million dollars where the writers for the same show are paid 50,000. The industry has a capacious bankroll and the writers have every write to strike and rebel. These conniving producers need to swallow their pride and pay their employees more. Basically the people on top are usurping money from the people lower on the ladder, mainly the writers. The article was divisive as it expressed both sides of the argument. This made it more powerful. It had scrupulous details but was short enough that I did not get bored reading it. The New York Times is a valuable resource in my research and this will help me in later projects.
