The first of three WGA membership meetings this week to discuss the status of the guild’s ongoing standoff with Hollywood’s talent agencies drew polarizing reaction
“This was meant to be an information meeting,” Newson continued. “Speculation about the harm that will come if Mr. Goodman’s challengers are elected was expressed several times by Mr. Goodman and David Young. I think they are presenting opinion as fact and spinning a narrative to sway voters. That’s fine on candidates’ night. But campaigning is forbidden at the information meetings. Here’s what isn’t funny. Campaigning is forbidden at the information meetings.
Writer Jonathan Redding, who’s not a candidate, disputed their electioneering claims. “I think they reported what happened,” he tweeted after the meeting. “There was a negotiation pending, and the Monday after the letter came out they were told by the agency ‘we’re gonna wait.’ That is pertinent information about the dispute process and timeline. I wanted to hear that.”“It was a good meeting,” said another – a new member who’s working on a Netflix show.
Another writer leaving the meeting was less enthusiastic. “If you go to these meetings and expect any answers, you’re going to be sorely disappointed,” he said. “They can’t give us any answers because it would give away their negotiating position.” Asked how long the fight with agents might last, another writer leaving the meeting said: “Probably a couple of years.”More from this Story ArcWGA Negotiator John August Says Long “Slog” Ahead Before Major Agency Deal, But Disputes Claims Guild Isn’t Negotiating
