That's not getting attention to your cause.

People would know. They would have sent out a press release before they stopped writing.

It absolutely wouldn't have gotten the attention that it's getting now. I don't watch any of the shows that have been affected, and if they had just sent a press release, I probably wouldn't have heard about it (except maybe on GC).

Are you sure? We knew long before they even started striking that there would likely be a strike. At least I heard about it on the radio, TV and Internet.

You do not equal everyone. A lot of casual viewers would have had no clue.

perhaps people just don't read or watch/listen to the news enough then.

Some people have more important things to do than watch the news and 800 dramas/sitcoms 24/7. I watch the morning news as I get ready in the morning, and I think the other day they had about a 20 second blurb about it, and I might not have even caught that, except they repeat their stories every 1/2 hour. And even then, it was more about the protest demonstrations then the actual strike.

But then these people wouldn't even care about the strike...they don't really watch TV.
