If there is no agreement by May 1, the WGA has the right to call a strike.
Depending on the status of negotiations, they could choose not to do so.
That situation would continue until there is a strike or an agreement.
If there is a WGA strike, what is expected of me as a DGA member?
Like most collective bargaining agreements, the DGA Basic Agreement contains a no strike clause.
Our no-strike clauses are clear.
However, as an individual, you cannot be forced to work.
What if I am also a WGA member?
Does a potential WGA strike affect the start of our Negotiations?
We have a fiduciary responsibility to you, our members, to achieve the best possible deal.
How can I keep abreast of developments?
The hotline is for members only, not agents, lawyers, business managers or press.
Staff will only be answering questions based on a members specific employment situation.
Your call will be returned as soon as possible as we want to answer your questions.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and will be communicating new developments as they arise.
