Obviously it’s not ok to mistreat employees, but that’s not what you were saying. If a member of SEIU 2015 went to work at their nursing home job during the strike you mentioned, none of the SEIU 2015 union staff would have given them a problem. If the same worker had crossed the picket line at the union offices to get a manager to handle routine business or if they decided to fill in for a striking staff member, that would indeed have been a problem.
Similarly, you’ll notice the WGA isn’t giving any grief to members of other industry union members (or the unions themselves) that have decided to keep working and finish production on completed scripts. They’re allowed to pass through the picket lines without incident. If a SAG member started filling in as a writer on the show that features them, though, that would be a big problem (AFAIK, Jennings isn’t doing any writing).
Solidarity is a choice, but crossing a picket line without permission or being a scab is never an acceptable one. Mayim Bialik understands that. So do the late-night talk show hosts who’ve stopped production during the strike. Ken Jennings does not.
The questions and answers (vice-versa, to be accurate) don’t just jump spontaneously from the host’s mind to the big board.
