I hadn't really realized that the producers were fighting over saving money, but at the same time lost $40 million to achieve this. The quote that they will "never recover from this" makes it clear that the producers may regret ever letting this strike happen in the first place. On the other hand, they will be saving money now, but it will be interesting to see if this ever really evens out.
