In this special mini-episode, John and Craig talk through the upcoming WGA strike authorization vote — what it actually means, and why they’re both voting yes.
Voting begins Tuesday in person, and Wednesday online.
We also discuss how strike authorization votes are a strange bit of negotiation theater, which Craig in particular would like to see end.
