He talked about how the compensation system is broken.

He said that 24% of showrunners make minimum the same as story editors.

Even so, Keyser said, We have to be brave [and] speak the language of power.

And they deserve credit.

If the idea was to get members to vote yes, I think they were very successful.

They also talked about the $20 million strike fund and about past strikes.
