Writers for the E! comedy/variety show Fashion Police are on strike. After months of being paid for eight hours of work a week despite working full-time, the writing staff went on strike last week in order to fight for union contracts. One of the writers, Eliza Skinner, wrote a Tumblr post about the situation to try to convince comedians not to scab for the show while the writers are on strike. Producers aren’t mentioning the strike when they ask people to scab, so it’s possible for someone to take the job and not even realize they’re putting out the striking writers. So, if you’re a comedian or comedy writer who gets ask to work on the show, take Eliza Skinner’s solid advice and don’t do it.
