Here’s where we as WGAW members stand. This email went out to Writers Guild of America West last Friday. And, yes, it’s important even if you aren’t a member because these issues affect the way all of our fun little industry called showbiz is run.
Today, the WGA sent both WME and CAA a proposal that outlines the steps each of them must take in order to be in compliance with the 20% ownership cap on production affiliates in the franchise agreement. At the same time, we sent them a renewal of our initial information request, which they have, up to this point, only partially satisfied.
