“They are trying to appeal to the union membership directly, which is a violation of the duty to bargain in good faith,” said Andrea Schneider, director of the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution at the Cardozo School of Law in New York tells Los Angeles Times latimes.com/entertainment-…

Not to be earnest (goes to camp) on main, but the whole thing about this strike is that WGA writers...love TV & movies so much. We love watching AND writing them. We want to help make a healthy, sustainable industry that makes more movies and TV (by more and different people!).

Hey, Hollywood, instead of postponing all your films and ruining the theatrical market again, PAY YOUR FUCKING WRITERS AND ACTORS AND END THE STRIKES.

What we’re asking for is fair and reasonable, remember that. #WGAStrike

#ICYMI, this is from our update on August 24: "On Friday, August 11 after 102 days on strike, the AMPTP gave us the counteroffer they publicized Tuesday night, August 22." 1/3

AMPTP co’s, you are at a grave disadvantage right now. You are going to be replaced by 3-party generative #AI co’s. Make a deal with the #WGA and #SAG for your own sakes.

For those of you who would like to help our most vulnerable during this @AMPTP imposed strike... deadline.com/2023/09/writer…

One thing to remember: WGA is honoring the negotiations blackout, and the AMPTP is not, so all this positive spin in the news today is coming from Management, and is probably an attempt to jam us. It might all turn out fine, but this still feels like an old AMPTP play. Patience.

WGAW members are calling for stronger #antitrust enforcement — and policymakers are listening. In comments to the Georgetown Antitrust Law Symposium, @DOJ Assistant AG Jonathan Kanter referenced a comment written by WGAW member Hanna McIntosh...

Seeing pics of the lines today is EVERYTHING. #wgastrong

When deal points come out, there’s going to be a lot of talk that the WGA didn’t get enough to justify a painful strike. This is partly to save face for the CEOs, partly to cause resentment within the guild, and mostly to make strikes look ineffectual for other unions.

To everyone who’s freaking out about “not having written anything”: withholding labor is the crux of striking. When strike is over, don’t feel guilty u didn’t get them a souvenir of free work u did while we were off the clock. It’s how we got here in the first place. 💪🏽✌🏽

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAStrike

The WGA reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. Today, our Negotiating Committee, WGAW Board, and WGAE Council all voted unanimously to recommend the agreement. The strike ends at 12:01 am. Check out our deal at wgacontract2023.org/deal. #WGAStrong

Ppl don't realize how much the WGA strike has galvanized support staff. We won't do 2 jobs for the price of 1. We want room for growth in the form of promotions and episodes. We are the future! Hire us! Promote us! Fight for us! Will Landman 🍥 got me fired up!

Fact Check: True.
