This includes any projects that would normally fall under the WGA.
Again, excluding any struck work.
We hope for a swift and fair resolution, said Victoria Shen, WGC Executive Director.
WGC members support WGA writers in their fight for fairness, and we applaud their strength and collective resolve.
We express our solidarity with colleagues at the WGA, because their struggles are ours too, Glaviano said.
During negotiations withAMPTP, the WGA sought regulation around the use of AI on MBA-covered projects.
In response, the studios tabled the introduction of annual meetings to discuss advancements in technology.
Glaviano ended the letter: We will support our American colleagues in every way.
The Writers Guild of Great Britain has issued a similar directive.
Not all screenwriters in France are members of La Guilde.
As individuals, they can do what they like.
We hold no sway over their actions.
Even for our members, we cant make them refuse work, said Roussin.
The landmark agreement introduced new guidelines for contracts between screenwriters and the first-ever minimum pay rate structure.
The last WGA work stoppage lasted 14 weeks in 2007-08.
