This is set to be even bigger than the 2007 WGA strike, which was ~12k people for 100 days. WGA had some precedent-setting wins with that, hopefully the same will happen with IATSE.

I don't see why that would be a dilemma for the civil-liberties-as-a-principle group. One can support the legal rights of both parties with opposing views. For example historically, the ACLU has defended both the NRA and the victim

It's a radiator panel that was damaged ~12 years ago, possibly due to a micrometeorite. It didn't really cause a significant drop in cooling capacity so they left it alone.
