Strike While the Iron is HOT

I've spent the last couple days talking about this strike with just about everyone I know. So far I have basically heard two critiques.
The first is a general indictment of unions and strikes in general. If someone is anti-union then there really isn't much that I can write in here to convince them, as I've learned with my own parents.
The second one really pisses me off though. The second is mocking their picket line chants. Really? That's the best you can come up with? The reason you think they don't deserve to be compensated for their work is because they don't write a great CHANT.
Never mind that you watch their shows every week, and get completely wrapped up in the story.
Nevermind that they don't get a cent when you download the show they created, and get less than a dime for every DVD you buy, they make up a bad chant on the line, so they got what they deserved.
If that is the best critique that you can come up with, then I will offer a defense of the writers that befits such a statement:
They're on strike so they aren't allowed to write anything including chants.
Ridiculous? You're right. So is saying that a chant isn't good. If you don't believe in the strike that's fine. It's your right to have your own opinion and if we disagree thats ok. But if you are going to speak out against (or for that matter in favor of) the strike say something of substance.
