SNL's Post-Production Strike on the Horizon

While everyone has been focused on the WGA and DGA strike conversations, did you know that there's another strike looming on the horizon? SNL's Post-Production team, which just reached union recognition this past October, is threatening to strike on April 1st if they can't reach an agreement with NBCU over pay and health care benefits.

I saw this too! Editors are often overlooked - I remember 15-ish years ago the big industry conversations that were happening because of how editors on reality shows (especially MTV ones on shows like The Hills, where the editors ARE the writers) were horribly underpaid. The SNL case is especially unique since it's a hybrid live/pre-taped show. Definitely an issue to watch

I can't imagine anyone would miss SNL.
