The Bollywood Strike Hits Festival Season

The Bollywood Strike Hits Festival Season

There has been no lights, camera or action in Bollywood since Wednesday, when roughly 150,000 film workers began a strike to demand better wages, less punishing working hours and a ban on non-unionized labor.

It is very common to see strikers demonstrating on the street in many countries .Every time I see the news on the TV ,I think the strikers are very brave to fight for their life living .In my opinion ,our societies have too many problems so it is much more difficult to find a effective resolution or a balance between the people involved .Besides, sometimes the government does not be in his shoes to consider labors’ or strikers’ conditions and the consequences of every decision the government has made. Take this incident for example, it shows that the government doesn’t pay much attention on the entertainment industry and try to solve the problem as soon as possible. What’s more, the government can’t use their authority to intimidate the people whose jobs are related to the entertainment industry.
However, it reminds me of the playwrights’ strike in Hollywood which also caused serious loss for their noncooperation. Although the demonstrators are different from the Bollywood’s , it is obvious that the American and Indian governments both have a incorrect attitude towards these two events. Waiting for the end of the strike is helpless to solve the problem. Because it will happen again and again. Therefore, both sides should compromise a little and find a radical resolution to recover the society. (218 words)
