There's power in a union! One question I've always had is, why do entertainment industry unions like SAG and WGA call themselves "guilds" instead of "unions"?

MODERATORS
They’re made up of theater kids
oh boy, our precious slop will continue 
This made me laugh more than it should have 
Woohoo!
I hope they got everything they wanted and a bit more.
Waiting for a summary of the changes.
Haven't seen them yet but the rumor is that people are happy
Doesn't SAG need to reach a deal too before the production of slop can resume?
Edit: Ah ok, the article mentions that resolution for SAG is expected pretty soon too now. So, lots to potentially celebrate here, assuming the terms are as good as the negotiating team seems to think.
Ofc, but the WGA deal could provide a framework for the resolution of the SAG strike, depending on the terms
