Wonder where Hollywood's strikes are headed? Movies might offer a clue
Briefly

From Hollywood's earliest days, film producers have demonized unions both on- and off-screen.
Her Norma Rae Wilson's just been fired for creating a disturbance at the factory, the sheriff's coming to haul her off to jail, and she's holding up a piece of cardboard on which she's scrawled just one word: 'UNION.' Every eye in the factory is on her as, one by one, her coworkers, many of whom she's angered and alienated with her activism, shut down their machines in support.
And might it also speak to why an August Gallup poll found the public solidly behind writers (72%) and actors (67%) in their struggles with studios?
