Writers From 'The Office' Demand Payment For Their Emmy-Winning Promotional Work
United Hollywood's videologue from Day Two of the strike features the picketing staff of The Office, who've walked off the job to shut down their show in hopes of raising the compensation they receive from the internet reuse of the commercial-laden "promotions" they produce on a weekly basis for NBC above the zero-dollar mark. But perhaps their most damning tale of network mendacity concerns their refusal to foot the bill for the Daytime Emmys two of the writers won for their webisodes, for which they did not even receive the generous eleven-cents-per two-hundred-trillion-downloads rate they were once promised.
