"[U]ltimately this is about whether management gets to screw workers"
--Atrios, about a recent strike (given the generic sentiment involved, does it really even matter which strike?)
Megan McCardle's response is where I saw that quote just now. Like her, I have no dog in the specific writers-versus-studios dispute. I'm just floored by how many people think of "workers" and "management" as two monolithic entities separated by an uncrossable chasm.
(Full disclosure: I'm an "exempt employee" (i.e. management (or "i.e. not paid for overtime")) in what basically amounts to the computer entertainment industry, where organized labor is all but nonexistent.)
