        It’s what the entire article is about

        “The notion that the strikes saved the company is wildly overstated,” Bob Bakish said of Paramount today.

        Any statement from management about strikes should be assumed to be the direct opposite of the truth.

          He’s responding to claims that the company has benefited the company, which is well within the realm of what a CEO would be expected to talk about.

          The ony thing that approaches an opinion about the strike is the statement that he wants to resolve it soon, which…horror!

            He could resolve it tomorrow by accepting the union’s reasonable demands. He could have resolved it weeks ago by accepting the union’s reasonable demands.

              As far as I’m aware neither he nor anyone from Paramount are part of the negotiating committee.

                  That’s true, he could. But I’ve seen no evidence that he’s actively fighting the union’s demands unlike Iger, Zaslav, and Sarandos. I’d love to see evidence to the contrary if it exists, though.
