Why Studios Are Going To Regret These Strikes — Corey Mandell
<p><strong>Corey Mandell, Screenwriter and Screenwriting Instructor: </strong>There was a lot of darkness and fear. It was a long strike and it didn’t look good in the beginning.

Sometimes that’s how empires fall.</p>
<p>In 2008, which was the last serious work stoppage that the writers had the writer strike, at that point reality TV was starting to grow in popularity. The whole thing about a strike, and I’m sure most of you listening to know this, what happens is when there’s a strike, it will not resolve until both sides want it to resolve.
