There are always some who just don't want to go out on strike, who
have work they're doing, who are on a show they've tried for years to
sell, and they hate the idea of it...which is understandable. What's
significant is that this is not only the highest number of votes we've
ever had on a strike authorization, it's the highest percentage of Yes
votes, ever. You can't get the Guild to agree on anydamnthing. Last
time I think it was about 70 percent or so...90 is amazing.
