TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM OF A FAIR CONTRACT WORK!

07/26/2023

In a 1994 episode of “The Nanny,” the titular caretaker played by Fran Drescher is pressured by her wealthy Broadway producer boss to cross a picket line where he’s hosting a premiere party. She refuses, saying that her mother taught her to never, ever cross a picket line.⁠
⁠
Nearly three decades later, Drescher — who created and starred in the series — is at the center of the biggest Hollywood strike in over half a century. SAG-AFTRA, the actors' union that Drescher leads, announced its strike. It is joined by the Writers Guild of America, which has been picketing since May. Together, the two unions have brought Hollywood to a halt.⁠
⁠
The demands of both unions are centered around residual payments from streaming services, data transparency and — crucially — concerns over the studios using artificial intelligence to replace human writers and actors.⁠
⁠
While many of the faces of the strike are wealthy A-list actors, the union has more than 160,000 members, including those who struggle to clear the $26,000 per year in earnings needed to qualify for health insurance, a key issue Matt Damon raised recently on the “Oppenheimer” red carpet. When the strike was called, Damon and his castmates walked out of the film’s London premiere before the movie was screened.⁠
⁠
Drescher ended up in this position after narrowly defeating actor Matthew Modine to win the presidency in 2021 despite a lack of labor experience. “What I don’t know, I promise you I will learn very quickly, and what I do know cannot be taught,” she said at the time.

Drescher was criticized last week for appearing in a selfie with Kim Kardashian during a fashion event in Italy, but she defended the move, saying she was there for work and was in contact with SAG-AFTRA staff throughout the trip. She earned rave reviews for her speech announcing the strike, clips of which immediately went viral.⁠
⁠
“Eventually, the people break down the gates of Versailles,” Drescher said. “And then it’s over. We’re at that moment right now.”⁠

Hello Everybody,
Exciting announcement re: Mixt. I have just installed a Mixt display at a wonderful clothing store in Manhattan Beach. Fino Manhattan is located at 912 Manhattan Ave and is open Tuesday - Sunday 11am- 5 pm. I will mainly be featuring handmade ceramics and glass as well as some one of a kind items.
I will be adding to the current display early next week and will have some handmade mugs featuring pictures of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Dr Fauci.

I hope you will visit Fino and if you let me know when you might stop by, I will try to be there to greet you.
Fondly,
