Funny that, when I was walking the WGA strike line we'd have a number of pick-up trucks bearing "IA" stickers slow down to hurl obscenities at us, since "our" refusing to accept a crap contract was costing "them" work. It's like when the George Meany & Walter Reuther had their dust-up, if one Union, Guild or even a Local thinks another is costing them money...they're not afraid to chuck solidarity & get ugly quick. There was a time when Detroit wasn't even allowed to play itself[[RoboCop 1-3, "Assault On Precinct 13", "Virgin Suicides", "The Crow", "Dreamgirls", Gridlock'd, Tucker, etc) now that it's portraying rather diverse, specific areas onscreen[[Northern California in "Youth In Revolt", Boston in "Betty Anne Waters") that's costing somebody somewhere money-who doesn't like it. And they're putting a stop to it. jams, judging by the 2nd link I posted the members of Locals 38 & 812 aren't happy with these developments.
