The Writers Guild of America met with agents to discuss their ongoing dispute over agency practices that the union sees as harmful to its members, including packaging fees and the move toward TV and film production.
The WGA has taken an extraordinary step, saying that it wants its members to fire their agents unless they agree to a code of conduct that would curtail such practices.
On Thursday, the WGA rebuffed the agents’ offer. “Speaking frankly, it doesn’t appear you are taking our proposals very seriously,” said David Goodman, president of the WGA’s West Coast branch, in his statement to the agents. “We won’t make an agreement that turns packaging into a false individual choice that each writer is supposed to make.”“Unfortunately, it appears at this time that the WGA really doesn’t want to make a deal,” said Karen Stuart, executive director of the Assn.
