Moore versus ‘GMA’

FILMMAKER Michael Moore bit the hand feeding his promotional machine on yesterday’s “Good Morning America.”

Moore, on “GMA” to shill his new movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” said he thinks “people ought to think about unionizing.”

That’s when Chris Cuomo said, “The unions can also abuse their privileges” — setting Moore off.

“I’m talking to employees, people backstage here, they don’t get to be real employees here because they don’t get the benefits, so they’re freelancers,” Moore said.

“I said [to someone backstage], ‘Guy, I was here two years ago and you were a freelancer’ — right backstage here at ABC — he said, ‘We call ourselves “permalancers” now.

“They don’t get to share in just the basic benefits that an employee used to have who worked here,” Moore said.

“What is wrong with just giving people basic things for their hard work?”

“You demonstrate the question very well in the new movie and you do it in lots of different ways,” Cuomo replied.
