Writers Guild of America
The Writers Guild of America is a generic term referring to the joint efforts of two different US labor unions:
- The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE), representing TV & Film writers around New York City.
- The Writers Guild of America, west (WGAw), representing TV & Film writers in Hollywood and southern California.
The WGAE and WGAW negotiate contracts in unison and also launch work stoppages simultaneously:
- 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
- Effect of the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike on television, a list of television shows affected by the strike.
- Reaction by actors to the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike, an article about actors' reactions and actions regarding the strike.
- 1988 Writers Guild of America strike
- 1960 Writers Guild of America strike
Although each Guild runs independently, they do both perform some activities in parallel:
- Writers Guild of America Award, an annual awards show with simultaneous presentations on each coast.
- WGA screenwriting credit system, determines how writers' names are listed during the credits.
- WGA script registration service, online services to prove when scripts were written and by whom.
- International Affiliation of Writers Guilds (IAWG), an international labor federation both Guilds belong to.
