The Screenwriters’ Guild

The Screenwriters Guild, officially known as the Writers Guild of America (WGA), is a labor union representing professional screenwriters and television writers. Its primary purpose is to negotiate fair contracts, pay, and working conditions, advocate for writers’ rights, and ensure proper recognition and compensation for their creative work. The Guild also provides support, resources, and protections against unfair practices in the entertainment industry. By uniting writers, it helps maintain industry standards and promotes the professionalism and economic security of its members.
