The Pointlessness of the SAG Strike 2023

In recent weeks, the entertainment industry has been rocked by news of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike in 2023. While the actors involved in the strike have their reasons and concerns, it's essential to critically examine whether this strike is truly necessary or if it might be, in fact, quite pointless.

Economic Impact: One of the most immediate consequences of the SAG strike is the significant economic impact it has on the industry. Thousands of jobs, from actors to crew members, are being affected. Production companies are losing millions of dollars every day the strike continues. Given the economic hardships that many people have faced in recent times, including the COVID-19 pandemic, one must question the wisdom of causing further financial strain on the industry and its workers.

Demands and Priorities: The demands put forth by the striking actors are not unreasonable. However, one could argue that these demands might not be the top priority in a world grappling with more pressing issues. With global crises like climate change, social justice, and healthcare disparities, is a higher salary for already well-paid actors truly the most critical concern? Many people struggle to make ends meet, and it's hard to sympathize fully with actors making exorbitant salaries, especially when so many others are struggling.

Timing: The timing of the SAG strike is questionable, at best. It's happening in an era when the industry is still recovering from the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people in the entertainment business are just getting back on their feet after months of uncertainty and unemployment. Striking now seems insensitive to the plight of others in the industry.

Alternative Solutions: Are strikes the only way to resolve disputes and negotiate better terms? In an industry that thrives on creativity and innovation, one would hope for more imaginative and collaborative solutions. Negotiation and dialogue could lead to more mutually beneficial outcomes without causing widespread disruption and financial loss.

Public Perception: Lastly, it's worth considering the public perception of the strike. In an age where people are increasingly disillusioned with celebrities and their lavish lifestyles, a strike like this may only further alienate the audience. The entertainment industry depends on the support and admiration of the public, and a strike that seems self-serving could harm its reputation.

In conclusion, while the actors participating in the SAG strike 2023 may have legitimate concerns, it's crucial to weigh the impact of their actions on the broader industry and society as a whole. In a world facing numerous pressing issues, this strike may indeed appear pointless to many, given its economic consequences and the perceived priorities of those involved. Perhaps there are more constructive ways to address the concerns of actors and create a fairer and more equitable entertainment industry.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

The most violent labor feud New York had seen in years took place on April 24, 1933. Six mobsters, armed with guns, knives, and lead pipes, raided the headquarters of the Needle Trade Workers’ Industrial Union, a Communist group. The attackers were believed to be right-wing members of the union. They killed one person and left 16 wounded.

How Probation is Regulated in Vietnam Labor Code?

How Probation is Regulated in Vietnam Labor Code?

An agreement between an employee and employer for a probationary position for a predetermined amount of time in accordance with legal requirements is known as probation. Both the employer and the employee should go through a trial period before signing a labor contract to see if they can work together in the long run. The Labor Code and other relevant guidelines should be followed during the probation. The Labor Code 2019 comes into force as of January first, 2020, various new guidelines likewise are given in association with the probation, which each organization ought to audit the matter with labour dispute lawyers in Vietnam for compliance.

Concerning conditions which are allowed to go into a trial contract, this agreement isn't material to the work term which is under multi month. The Labor Code 2012 doesn't need that the trial arrangement should be specified in the work contract. As a result, an employer and employee may negotiate the probation, as well as their respective rights and responsibilities during the probation period. If the parties are in agreement about the probation, they can sign a probation contract. The employer is required to sign an employment contract with the employee if the probation work meets the requirements. It is clear from these provisions that a separate probationary contract between the employer and employee is required.

When the probation period is over and the employee satisfies the employer's recruitment requirements, the labor contract should be signed. Employer and employee may agree on a separate probationary contract or the probation that is outlined in the labor contract, as per the most recent provisions of the Labor Code for 2019. If the labor contract includes a probationary period, the employer is obligated to continue carrying out the current agreement once the employee has met all of the requirements. In that case, a new labor contract must be signed.

Based on the nature and complexity of the job, the Labor Code decided how long the probation period had to be. For positions requiring a college degree or higher, the probationary period was previously limited to no more than 60 days. Currently, executives can extend their probationary period by up to 180 days. The owner of a sole proprietorship, the partner of a partnership company, the chairperson or member of the Board of Members, the President of a company, the President or member of the Board of Directors, the Director/General Director, or the holder of another managerial position prescribed in the company's charter (applicable to the enterprise without state capital) are examples of executives who play a significant part in the business and operation of the businesses.

Another amendment to the cancellation of the probationary contract, the Labor Code 2019 removed the limitation of the right to cancel. Accordingly, during the probationary period, each party has the right to cancel the probationary contract or labor contract entered into without prior notice and compensation. On the contrary, the employee and the employer may cancel the probation if the probationary job does not meet the requirements that the parties have agreed upon under the Labor Code 2012.

The primary purpose of probationary periods is to determine whether an employee and employer are compatible at the outset of an employment relationship. To avoid a potential dispute in Vietnam, businesses as employers must have a clear understanding of the principles of entering into a labor contract and a probationary contract.

Reason I think everything is getting "smart" these days is big corporations trying to find new exciting ways to fuck end users via things like EULAs with No Sue/No Class clauses.

One instance I absolutely think Euros got us beat since any European court would laugh a EULA Arbitration clause out of the room. Frankly forced arbitration should be illegal as well as class action waivers. The right to sue is a fundamental one in our legal system and should not be permanently waivable via contract.
