is urging members to “hold together” and stay the course in the guild’s ongoing battle with Hollywood’s talent agencies.
“It was a similar conversation that I’d had with many members over the last few months, especially newer, less established writers; they understood that our success depends on their willingness to make personal sacrifices for the greater good. That’s the heart of the union’s success. “Our agencies were failing to defend writers not only from option & exclusivity clauses, which had always been their responsibility; they also seemed unable and indifferent to a number of other problems, almost all of which had been their responsibility for decades. These problems included a serious decline in writer over-scale pay in both features and TV, and increases in free work.
“Will that require some compromise? Yes, as we’ve already shown. Will we get 100% of what we want? No. But we still have the ability and the power, if we have the courage, to get a good deal, despite the difficulty and some suffering on the part of writers. “The ATA wouldn’t accept the issues we’ve raised as being legitimate, one of which is that agencies owning production companies is an unacceptable conflict of interest that they need to address.
