“Who are we to want to get compensated the way we used to be? Who are we to think that we deserve to make an honest wage that meets inflation? Who are we to challenge them in any way? We should be so lucky to get whatever they want because they’re the bosses.”

Fran Drescher President of the actors union

this is what she is facing while negotiating with Hollywood. This is exactly what every individual who works faces every day. This here is exactly why unions are the only way workers will get proper compensation for the time of their lives they are giving to their employers.
"They don’t really want to negotiate. They just want us to like what they want us to like. They don’t want us to have a mind. They don’t want us to have a thought. They don’t want us to have feelings or complain that we can’t make a living and we can’t support our families and we’re having problems paying the rent. "

DRESCHER: Well, they called and said, “We’re walking away. We’re breaking negotiations.” Now, we’re in the midst of a serious negotiating committee meeting. Everybody went out on the picket lines today (Thursday). The resolve is very strong.

So I think that they think that we’re going to cower, but that’s never going to happen because this is a crossroads and we must stay on course.
