Nikki Finke comes through, as always, and gives us this week’s picketing schedule. Tomorrow on the bill—Diversity Day! Followed by the reality and game show arm of the tour. Call me crazy but that sounds like fun. If Rage Against the Machine shows up again I'm dropping everything and running out to the picket lines with my laptop to liveblog. Oh and I'll be looking for an open bar too so if you can provide that, picketers, you're golden.
Wednesday, December 5th -- The WGA Black Writers Committee is hosting Diversity Picketing Day at Paramount Studios.
Friday, December 7th -- A Reality & game Show Rally and Informational picket takes place from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm at FremantleMedia North America, 4000 W. Alameda Blvd (1 block east of Pass Avenue) in Burbank. According to the WGA, "FremantleMedia is a major international content provider and producer of a slate of highly profitable shows that includes: American Idol, The Price Is Right, Family Feud, Temptation, The Next Great American Band, Farmer Wants A Wife, Million Dollar Password and America's Got Talent. While Fremantle reaps huge profits from these projects, they do so at the expense of their writers, who work without standard industry benefits including health insurance, residuals, pension contributions, and proper credits."
