I'm not saying they don't deserve what they're asking for... I'm just sharing information.

If the network requires a rewrite the applicable minimum is $8,634 per episode. The writer earns a minimum of $4,324 for polishing a script.
The writers are paid a minimum of $2,890 to $3,688 per week on week-to-week term employment basis. If they work in additional capacities they could earn a minimum of up to $6,879 per week (based on the number of weeks they are employed).
If they are asked to go up with a 'bible' (an depict of up to 6 storylines for an upcoming season) the writers earn a minimum of $44,353 per bible plus an additional $4,435 per storyline if the bible contains more than 6 storylines.
Each prime-time rerun earns the writer credited for writing the story the teleplay or both a minimum residual payment of $8,431 to $21,078 per episode.

No one says you have to sell your soul cheap. Still no reason for them to miss out on their residuals from the internet.

Great post. It is nice to see the earning of TV writers. Not that great luck for us though.

Ok let's compare that to what the add up lawyer makes for writing verbose legalese crap that no one reads or is entertained by but stifles creativity business and life in general. Pay them and let's move on.

Let them stay on strike. This is the same assort of knuckleheads that took the label "Californication" and Dani California from the Chilli Peppers (see above) and claim to know nothing of the Chilli Peppers albums!

These writers should all be fired and they should bust up that GREEDY union in a heartbeat.
Their writing pretty much sucks.
There are many non-union writers out there who can write far better than any of these striking monkeys.
Look at all the "other" people affected by the greedy writers. Support staffs etc. The writers don't give a rats ass about them.
Fire The Greedy Writers NOW!
