ordered thousands of its members to fire their agents in a dispute over packaging fees and agency-related production entities, neither side shows any signs they are willing to give in.
The only recent mention of the year-long stalemate was an unsuccessful attempt by the WGA to coax AMPTP to be an ally in its fight against agents, by requiring signatory production companies “to negotiate only with agents franchised by the WGA.” The WGA’s long-simmering dispute with Hollywood’s talent agencies came to a head exactly one year ago when it ordered members to fire agents at agencies who refused to sign its new agency code of conduct, which banned packaging fees and agency affiliations with related production and distribution companies, which the guild claims are a “blatant conflict of interest.”
While the rise of streaming is increasingly blunting the practice of packaging, a 2018 report by the guild found that 87% of the more than 300 scripted TV series produced during the 2016-17 television series were packaged by talent agencies, and that 79% of those shows were packaged by WME and CAA.
