My big question here is why is it still up for discussion that people should be paid for their work, and this includes that the success of the show or artistic product meaning increased payment? The arts are one of the only fields that I can think of that the work we do does not correlate to getting paid more so if a show is successful, why are those artists not being paid more? To play devil’s advocate, the only place that artists are paid depending on their work being used is actors and writers in music and television get paid royalties but the amount they are paid is dismal considering how much large executives are making at corporations. This all circles back to why so many unions are currently striking for something as simple as a fair wage considering the astronomical difference between the average employee and the network executives they work for.
