Priority 1 message from Starfleet coming in on Secured Channel.

Hey friends of Disodo.

Before today's episode, we just wanted to take a moment to talk about the historic labor

actions being taken by writers and actors in the American Film and Television industry.

If you're a fan of the work done by the people who make Star Trek, we hope you'll join

us in standing in solidarity with the folks who actually bring these adventures to life.

Over the past several years, the AMPTP, the organization that represents the American

Film and Television production studios have reduced the profit from movies and TV going

to workers.

And in so doing, they've attempted to weaken the labor unions that represent those workers.

They wouldn't even engage the unions on many issues in their negotiations.

So a strike was the only course of action to take.

Adam, Wendy and I have been having a lot of internal discussions about how best to stand

with the unions and we are continuing those conversations in a dynamic situation.

We're doing our best to understand where the picket lines are in these digital spaces

and we would never intentionally cross one.

With the information we have, we feel like we can do more good talking about and supporting

the strike and continuing our show as planned.

We'll keep you informed about what all this means for greatest trek specifically.

Today, we're making a contribution to the Entertainment Community Fund.

This fund exists to help all the people whose livelihoods have been put on hold because

the AMPTP refuses to negotiate in good faith with the unions.
