The Writer's Guild of America

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is a labor union representing professional writers in film, television, and digital media in the United States. Founded in 1933, the WGA advocates for writers' rights, negotiates contracts, and ensures fair pay and working conditions. It provides support during disputes with studios and networks, offers resources for career development, and promotes the importance of storytelling in entertainment. By uniting writers, the WGA strengthens their collective power to address industry challenges and advances initiatives surrounding intellectual property and compensation.
