Well, that was anticlimactic

I went to the WGA meeting last night on the contract. There were maybe a dozen or so people in the audience. Most people had obviously already mailed in their ballots, but I came in because I was interested to see who would show up and if anyone had anything interesting to say.

A microphone was set up so that people could get up and address the board and have their say about the contract.

Nobody did.

The meeting ran about ninety seconds, and most of that consisted of a Ferris Bueller-like “Anyone? Anyone,” and when no one had anything to say, we voted. I suspect it will carry overwhelmingly.

I wonder if the WGA West meeting had more fireworks.

UPDATE: The WGA has just confirmed that the new contract was overwhelmingly approved by over 93 percent of the membership.
