Hey bully for Aaron Paul, but he got paid more than the crew. Where is even any talk of the residuals for general workers.
General workers should get residuals too, but SAG is actually doing a strike for residuals right now as we are speaking and as communists we should support labor action. Dont do that thing that happened during the video game voice actor strike where people were like "well what about the other people working on the games?". Thats not the point. Those people should get more compensation too. But support the labor action that is actually happening instead of asking "well what about this other group". That just serves the bosses interests.
The compensation for others follows as a natural consequence of some getting it. It really confuses me as there is no temporal aspect to some of these criticisms.
Of course others would fight for their own compensation after seeing that others could get it, there's historical precedent for this. It's unfortunate that it can't happen in one fell swoop and that isn't enough to stop support.
"it's bad for them so it should be bad for him too" seems like a weird argument, and one I often hear against labour improvements. "Why should they be paid well to flip burgers, when I'm not paid well and I do something more important?"
