Additionally, many studios are using the strike as an excuse to "clean house" or cut-down on other expenditures, even if they are not directly related to the writers. For example, I work in sports... we don't have union writers. Yet we can no longer work any overtime because of the strike, and many of the employee "perks" we used to enjoy have been taken away. Yeah, sucks. So the sooner the strike is over the better... not only for the writers, but also because the studios will no longer have an excuse to hide behind.

It's not like his writers produce a funny product. Maybe he could have remained on the airwaves with little visible change.

Stagehands are actually striking too, but that's just for Broadway stuff. At least that's how I understand it. I don't really care about either though. I like to watch Letterman but I don't do that more than once a month. The elementary school version of it, as I understand, is that for the writers strike, they're mad about royalties for their content being online. The stagehands strike has to do with broadway not wanting to hire employees they think are unnecessary but are required under union regulations. Apparently these guys make fat money and many Broadway shows have to run for years to make a profit. I’ve also had trouble following this strike stuff.
