"If a company has that amount of control over employment, they're able to set wages, they're able to drive wages down." #BlockTheMerger
The decision to eliminate categories from the prime-time broadcast devalues the contributions of the talent people the Academy is meant to honor.
If Warner Bros. merges with Paramount, the combined company would become the largest employer of writers. Both companies are already industry giants and the loss of head-to-head competition will directly impact writers at every level as well as the pipeline for emerging writers. #BlockTheMerger
Antitrust laws were designed to stop this kind of corporate consolidation before it happens. Thank you @agrobbonta and the coalition of state AGs for taking action. #BlockTheMerger
