Writer's Strike Looming

On October 31 the contract expires and there is a very real threat of a strike from the writers of television and movies. The Writer's Guild of Ameria voted overwhelming in favor of authorizing a strike if they fail to sign a new contract when their contract runs out at the end of the month. At the top of the list of the writers demands are issues regarding payment of their work over the internet and other digital media. As new ways to spread tv shows and movies are invented new issues of payment are raised. A strike could occur as early as the first of November, which would shut down a lot of tv shows and stop the production of movies.
