Striking Fashion Police Writers to Joan Rivers: Can We Talk?
The video below, posted to YouTube today by WGA West, is compelling for a whole bunch of reasons. Starting with the fact that it offers the rare opportunity to glimpse the usually invisible writers’ contingent responsible for a program like E!’s Fashion Police.
The group has been on strike since April 17, protesting the lack of health insurance, a pension plan and equitable pay. This is a very slick bit of video activism by the Writers Guild, putting an eloquent face on an age-old creative industry struggle.
Whether Joan Rivers herself or more so the executives at Comcast/E! are responsible for this unforgiving stance, the WGA West choreagraphed volley makes them all look equally bad.
