Writers Guild schedules strike authorization vote amidst stalled talks.
TL;DR Summary
The Writers Guild of America has set a strike authorization vote to begin on April 11, marking the first step toward a potential writers strike. The WGA began contract talks with Hollywood’s largest employers on March 20, and a work stoppage would not actually be able to begin until the current contract expires May 1. The guild is asking to restore writer pay and conditions to reflect their value to the industry. Online voting will be open to eligible WGA members from 8:30 p.m. PT on April 11 through noon PT on April 17.
