As long as we get to see who sits on the Iron Throne at the end of this season, I'm ok with this

Too bad the stuff UFC fighters couldn't sign s damn anonymous card and unionize.
Now they get to sit back and watch some faggy writers does them how it's done. Intredasting.

Makes sense because it’s exactly the same situation. They need to hire you for that keen intellect.

1) The card couldn't have been guaranteed to remain anonymous.

2) Fighters are precluded from organizing as independent contractors and it would not have been possible to do so with the current Trump appointed composition of the National Labor Relations Board favoring not granting labor rights to contractors.

3) WGA, SAG, and DGA do represent an organizing model worth replicating because they've shown how contractors can organize as a bargaining unit.

4) The wealthiest writers are about 10 levels of magnitude wealthier than the wealthiest fighters so they have more clout.

True, but I was referring to project spearhead.
Wasn't it 30% of fighters they needed to sign an intent to unionize?

Yep here it is:

www.projectspearhead.com

"Once 30% of the fighters have signed cards we shall have approximately 150 cards, and we will submit them to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) where the NLRB will look at a list of 11 factors to decide whether or not we are independent contractors or employees. Exotic dancers and FedEx workers, among others, have already used this process to gain back wages and benefits and form unions. If the NLRB finds that we are employees, then we move forward with this plan. If the NLRB does not find that we are employees, then we are still independent contractors and are not eligible to become a union. However, if this occurs, we can continue our voluntary association to focus on bettering our profession. No names will be released by either the NLRB or the organizers of Project Spearhead, so everyone can sign without worrying about retaliation from the UFC."

I know what you were referring to, but I'm saying Spearhead mischaracterized both the process and their likelihood of success.
